# Use Element's Text

If the element you want to address has unique text, you can address that element by that text. For example, if you want to automatically like a page on Facebook, you can make your TaskBot find and click on a button with text "Like".

Below you will see how exactly this can be done.

### **Exact Match**

#### ***text="Enter exact text of the element" (inside the double quotes)***

If you enter text inside double quotes, as shown below, your TaskBot will search for an element that matches exactly this text. 

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">text="some text"</mark>\
\
Beware: This option is case-sensitive!

For example, assume you want to start a post on LinkedIn, and the button on LinkedIn is called "Start a post".

![](/files/fbViz9k95IFTrbUZnZDO)

In this case, you can create a selector using the following syntax:&#x20;

### **Loose Match**

#### ***text=Enter SOME keywords of the text of the element*****&#x20;(without double quotes)**

If you enter text without double quotes, as shown below, your TaskBot will search for an element that has text that contains the keywords you provided.&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">text=some keywords that the text contains</mark>

For example, assume you want to save the number of followers from a Facebook business page, and the information on the page contains a text that says *1,456 people follow this*.&#x20;

![](/files/OrrnTUh6i7L1hfQvuUjI)

\
As the number changes dynamically depending on the popularity of the page, you cannot use text="1,456 people follow this" (with double quotes) but you can use the keyword *people follow this*. Simply skip double quotes like shown here:&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">text=people follow this (❌ instead of text="people follow this")</mark>
