and function read file hashtable

public hashtable<string, string> readdatafromfile(string filename) {             try {                 filereader fr = new filereader(filename);                 bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(fr);                 string strline = null;                 string []prop = null;                 while((strline = br.readline()) != null) {                     prop = strline.split("\t");                     recruiters.put(prop[0], prop[1]);                 }                 br.close();                 fr.close();              }catch(exception exception) {                 system.out.println("unable read data recruiter file: " + exception.getmessage());             }             return recruiters;         } 

please take look! thanks

priya...you can use

 if(iselementpresent(by.linktext(linktextfoundfromfile))){       //code when link text present there  }else {       //code not finding link  } 

now following method generalized by object can use by.xpath, by.id etc.

 private boolean iselementpresent(by by) {      try {        driver.findelement(by);        return true;      } catch (nosuchelementexception e) {        return false;      }    }
