Problem with window recognition

My application has a form with a name who has a window name. I have recorded this form day by day until I discover that window name changed because it has a date in this name. I saw something about the use of regex in QTP. The property regexpwndtitle changes everyday. COFPV235.18 10/03/2008 , COFPV235.18 10/04/2008 and so on. I'd like to make a regex using COFPV235.18 * like pattern. I have tried chaging the property name at Keyword view but It doesn't work when I playback QTP. When I put the window's name correctly, it works. What happens ?

Plz try with *.* instead of *

else you can fetch the system date in day/month/year format
concatinate this with the form name and proceed..

Hi,

Try using a regular expression for Date part like this -

[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/200[0-9]. This regular expression is for mm/dd/yyyy format and for year 2000. Append this to the Already displayed text in the regexpwndtitle property.

Cheers.....

Don't mind dear spitzman, but why you are giving so stress to name , whereas you have other proeprties for identification of an object.

If name is doing problem, leave it and tell QTP to identify the form with optional properties.

As regexpwndtitle property is not consistent. Any other property of the window which is unique can be considered for identification.

plz let me know the result

You can use bizzzzzare's code and take care of the date part.

You can also do it this way:

COFPV235\.18.*
