Regular expression is always used to make our search globalize.
To execute the test in QTP every object is searched in the object repository (OR). In real time applications some object's properties always keep changing, so at the time of execution script fails. To overcome it we use "regular expression" for that particular object's property. For example:
1) Record a test where you are inserting one order and than faxing the same order.2) The order number that is generated during recording may 21 and "Fax Order window title" is generated and saved into OR as "Fax Order No. 21"
3) Now execute the same test, the script will fail because this time order no is modified as 22 and accordingly "Fax Order window title" is modified as "Fax Order No. 22".
4) This time the object "Fax Order No. 22" is not identified or you can understand object is not matched (find) into OR.
5) To make this search better we modify the text property of object into OR as "Fax Order No.*" this will search all the occurrences of window that has text as "Fax Order No"
6) We can also write it as "Fax Order No. [0-9]" because fax order no is a numerical value and this will search only numbers after "Fax Order No. "
So this is the purpose of regular expression in QTP.PravatInfinite

Also Regular Exp is used for pattern matching and replacing of a string.* : Matches the preceding character zero or more times.. : Matches any single character except a newline character.

Using RE we can make the QTP to recognize same object with its varying name.For example, a window having title as "Employee NO. 7"If I want to pass data to multiple Employee No. Windows, So I have to use RE as "Employee No..*" in Object Repository..

Hi all,
We actually have few functions to add the results to the Excel File instead in the QTP Results Window.
Solution description: We will be using a seperate Sheet by name "Results" in which the Results of the Test will be appened.
There are 2 functions
1) initOutExcel(sTablePath)
Description : This function is to initialize a particular Excel Where you want to update the Results of the QTP Tests.
2) WriteResults(sTablePath,sStatus,sFunctionality,sDescription)
Description : This function appends the Result of a Test to the end of the existing results.
You can modify the below functions to suite your requitrement.
CODE:
Function initOutExcel(sTablePath)
Datatable.addSheet "Results"
Datatable.importSheet sTablePath, "Results","Results"
iParamCount = Datatable.getSheet("Results").getParameterCount
if iParamCount = 0 Then
Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "S.No",""
Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Status",""
Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Functionality",""
Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Description",""
End If
Datatable.ExportSheet sTablePath,"Results"
End Function
Function WriteResults(sTablePath,sStatus,sFunctionality,sDescription)
Datatable.addSheet "Results"
Datatable.importSheet sTablePath, "Results","Results"
iRowCount = Datatable.getSheet("Results").getRowCount
Datatable.getSheet("Results").setCurrentRow(iRowCount+1)
Datatable("S.No","Results") = iRowCount+1
Datatable("Status","Results") = sStatus
Datatable("Description","Results") = sDescription
Datatable("Functionality","Results") = sFunctionality
Datatable.ExportSheet sTablePath,"Results"
End Function

go to Resources menu-Object Repository-select the particular text object in left window pane. In right window pane select attached text column field value, a browse icon ('<#>') becomes visible and click on it and select Regular expression checkbox (click on 'No' option in a appeared dialogbox) and exactly in the place of 1 write as [0-9]*
example: text 1 'before replacement
text [0-9]* 'after replacement is valid
text[0-9]* 'after replacement is not valid because no space in between text and regular expressionb.sainarayanarao

Click on Test->Settings
Click on Resources Tab
At the right-bottom change object repository type from per-action to shared.
Once you have saved a test script with per-action type of object repository you cannot change it to shared.
