How do I progammatically decide which button to click in Java?

I have a need to click on a button based on the test assigned to the button. I tried to do this with following description:

://button[@text='$i']:left

and then checking the box "For the Target field, perform command, variable, and backslash substitutions". As soon as I check the box, I get a red 'X' with "Invalid substitution in field. Command name cannot have substitutions."

Is there another way to do this?

You are doing the right thing. But when you turn on substitution, those square brackets indicate that there should be a command inside them. In this case, the square brackets are literal, so change it to

//button\[@text='$i'\]:left

and it should work.
