replace text? is this possible currently

[MoprhiusX]

Hi team,
I been working with taiko for a bit now with some basic automation however I have come into a situation where I need to replace specific text in a text box.

For example
Original: This is some awesome text
Need: This is some ok text

Basically replacing "awesome" with "ok"

Is this something currently possible with taiko?

This can be done by clearing the current value and typing the new value for e.g.

await clear(textBox({placeholder:'Email'}))
await write("ok");

Hi Zabil,
Wont this clear the entire text box? Not just replace a specific word in the text boc

Yes that replaces the whole text. The best way to replace a part of the word is reading the original text and replacing the word using javascripts string replace, clearing the text box and the writing the new text.
