Search elements via sub-string using eValid

Postby VHoward » Fri Jul 07, 2017 1:59 pm

Afternoon.

How do I look for an element by specifying a sub-string in eValid.

Thanks

A good question VHoward thanks for posting.

You didn't say if this was for a synchronization or for a validation, but the methods to use are similar.

First, you can locate an element in the current page with an IndexFindElement or IndexFindElementEX command, described here:

The search for a sub string is best done with a regular expression.

Here is how that goes:

One note of caution, the regular expression search is resource heavy if you have a very broad regular expression.
