While opening links in reverse order in new tabs, I want to exclude "sports" and "IR" links

Question

I want to open links from contents from bottom to top in new tab:

driver.get("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_video_game");
        WebElement contents = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='toc']"));
        List<WebElement> links = contents.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
        String clickonlinkTab=Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.ENTER);
         for(int i = links.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
links.get(i).sendKeys(clickonlinkTab);
links.findElement(By.partialLinkText("sports")).notclick();
links.findElement(By.partialLinkText("IR")).notclick();
}

I want Selenium to skip links which has "sports" and "IR" any where on it.

Answer 1

As "notclick" is not a valid method, the simplest solution is to check if the link text contains "Sports" or "IR" before performing the click action. E.g:

for (int i = links.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (!(links.get(i).getText().toLowerCase().contains("sports")
        || links.get(i).getText().toLowerCase().contains("ir"))) {
        links.get(i).sendKeys(clickonlinkTab);
    }
}
