Selenium check selected dropdown option value using xpath - selenium-webdriver

Question

I have problem in getting the option value selected in dropdown with dynamic name and id. here's the html. Note: I will get the SELECTED OPTION VALUE from the dropdown. Not selecting a value on it.
I used many xpath contains but it doesn't works. the "[1]" changes everytime the page reloads.
Do you have any idea what is the correct xpath contains to use on this. BTW, I'm using web driver 2.32
<select name="this.is.dynamic.which.change.every.page.loads[1].select" id="this.is.dynamic.which.change.every.page.loads[1].select"
<option value> - Select </option>
<option value="1"> Option1</option>
<option value="2"> Option2</option>
<option value="3"> Option3</option>
<option value="4"> Option4</option>
<option value="5"> Option5</option>
<option value="6"> Option6</option>
</select>

Answer 1

It's a little bit tricky but my way to do that is :
//get the value
String name = driver.findElement(By.CssSelector(select)).getAttribute("name");
int flag = 0;
//loop for getting your dynamic number
for(int i=1; flag!=0; i++){
if (name.charAt(i).isNumeric()){
String num = name.charAt(i);
flag = 1;
}// end if
}//end for
// now get the value for the selected one
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.CssSelector(select option:nth-child(num)));
It will probably not work (if you copy/past) because i can't test and i'm at work. But you got an idea to get what you want. Tell me what's up.

You can still use XPath Contains to match the Select then Option to Explicitly match your preferred option.
It will be Something like
//Select[contains(#name,'any frequent prefix')]/option[.='option']
or
//Select/option[.='option']
Hi Use the Select class in WebDriver API
String path = "/Select[contains(#name,'any frequet prefix')]"
Select options = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath(path)));
options.getAllSelectedOptions();
System.out.println(options.getAllSelectedOptions());
Can findElement by Tag if it's the Only Select/Dropdown on Page
