selectAll

selectAll ( string cssSelector , string _code , string _selection ) : string[]

Select all elements in code using a css selector, by default on all the source code but you can indicate a portion of code, the selection correspond to what you want it return.

In this function the actions are executed in this order:
1) _code is parsed
2) cssSelector is searched in the parsed DOM
3) Once the DOM element is located, we search the property defined in _selection



Example

HTML:

<ul id="listofLanguages"> 
<li>Java </li> 
<li>Python </li> 
<li>Groovy </li>
<li><em> C++</em>  </li> 
</ul>

Grimport:

language = selectAll("#listofLanguages") 
console(language) // -> ["Java", "Python", "Groovy", "<em> C++</em>"]


Tip

When you iterate through the rows of a table, if you put the contents of the tr into a variable and then reinject it into a select, the code parser won't work because only a td or tr without a table is invalid. You need to recreate a valid table structure to create valid, parsable HTML code. 
featuresHTML = """<table border="1">

<tr>

<th>Product</th>

<th>Specifications</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Laptop A</td>

<td>8GB RAM, 256GB SSD</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Smartphone B</td>

<td>6.5" Display, 128GB Storage</td>

</tr>

</table>"""



for(tr in selectAll("tr", featuresHTML))

{

	tr = "<table><tr>" + tr + "</tr></table>" // -> <table><tr>        <th>Product</th>        <th>Specifications</th>    </tr></table>

	labelFeature = get(cleanSelectAll("td", tr), 0)

	valueFeature = get(cleanSelectAll("td", tr), 1)

}
