How can I get data from within a page during playback?

I have a question regarding a specific functionality of your software.

I would like to know whether is possible to record data from any web
page while playing back. Let me try to explain it.

We have an application which is accessed by users to update their
data. If I connect to the application and I modify my phone number
(let's say to 888 777 666). After that, I connect again to just check
my data. Is there any way to get the value of that field (the phone
number) from the out application through e-valid?

Thanks

Thanks for posting.

eValid provides several ways to extract information from what
is on browsed pages at playback time.

How you do it depends on where the information is and where
you want to put it.

If you know the expected value before hand, use simple Validate
commands. See:

You might look at the family of Save... commands that are available
(in some cases with script editing required):

Lastly, there is a SaveVisibleText of SaveFullHTML command that
copies out the visible/full page detail to a file for post-test
analysis, e.g. with simple text scans, etc.

To know which one to use would require us to see the page and
understand which data item you want extracted...

But the bottom line is that eValid can do it!
