How to select an item in UiPath that starts with a string

Question

How to UiPath to select an item from a combobox in a windows client application. The items are formatted in the list as "Code - Description". I'd like to select the item by code only, rather than needing to know the description also.

Answer 1

use a wildcard in selector. make sure that Code is unique i.e 0003 and attribute name equals to id:

<id = 0003* />
