Hi guys

Need help to solve one issue, I recorded one script 2 months back that time my session name was recorded “2008_0514_xyz”. Now today if I run my script then it throws the error stating “” because today it created session name “2008_0714_xyz”. (months changed)
how am I supposed to handle this issue?

I tried to use regular expression (“.*2008_0514_xyz”) but still it is failing.

my script is: Browser(Browser).page(page_1).linck(“2008_0514_xyz”).click

Thanks in advance.

Please check the Property of the linck Control, which has the constant string value i.e "2008_0514_xyz", I would suggest to use 2008_0\d{3}_xyz for that property.

Hi Nawab thanks for your reply i tried as you said but still it is not working. It is throwing error "property mismatch".

please help me

Hi Nawab

Thanks

Please ensure that while you make a property as a regular expression, u select the checkbox(regular expression)...hence only in that case the string will parsed as a regular expression in QTP.

if nothing works then go for *.*

E.g if there is a string value OSTD_45_T

and here I am sure that 45 is a variant component....then

the property of the control that holds the string value , suppose text..

text = OSTD_\d{2}_T else OSTD_\d{1,}_T else OSTD_*.*_T

there is a checkbox which ask that u want to nake it a regular expression...just select that...and its done..


please revert in case there are issues.

Hi Nawab

Thanks for your help but still my script is throwing error of mismatch property.
I did check the check box.

Below I am trying to explain my page.

On my web page, first, I record year '2008' then date from the calendar box '06/18' then program area and hit on the 'Create' button so system generate the session name "2008_0618_xyz". But when I run this script after a month then it is throwing error because month is change. So when I run today then it create the session name '2008_0718_xyz' and match with the existing script which has session name”2008_0618_xyz”. Because month is changed so system throws the error of mismatch property.

Script is:
Browser (browser).page (page).link ("2008_0618_xyz").click

I went to the object property of this line and entered the regular expression; I did check the check box and click 'yes'. I can see the blue color box near the session name on object property box, and then tried to run but still throwing error. I used the regular expression syntax whatever you said to use.

Can you please help me?

Thanks
Ema
