Character in a string formation

Question

I use Rselenium and I use javascript queries.

The query in javascript is this:

document.querySelectorAll('ul#test div.mytext')[1].innerText.split('\n').filter(x => x).join('???')

When I try to run it in RSelenium code I use this:

remDr$executeScript('return document.querySelectorAll(\'ul#test div.mytext\')[ 1 ].innerText.split(\'//\n\').filter(x => x).join(\'???\')', args = list("dummy"))

However I receive an error and I belive it is due to \n character

How can I write it properly?

You are using single quotes for delimiting the code you want to run when it also contains single quotes. Since there are no double quotes in the expression, try:

remDr$executeScript("return document.querySelectorAll(\'ul#test div.mytext\')[ 1 ].innerText.split(\'//\n\').filter(x => x).join(\'???\')", args = list("dummy"))
