sorry ya... we r also searching.. once v r getting inform u.....

Regular expression are used when the part of the particular property of an object which was used most oftenly changes dynamically ..

Say suppose for an example...take google application..

Iteration1:
Enter QTP in the search edit box
Click on the Search button

Ieration2:
Enter Winrunner in the search edit box
Click on the search button

in the above scenario Search edit box(QTP and Winrunner) can be parameterized.When we hit the search button, the browser name will be "Google - QTP" for Iterantion1 and "Google - Winrunner" for iteration2.
So "Google" is the common word for the browser name property.Here we can use regular expression to make the script reusable.

v_SearchText = DataTable("SerachText","Action1")
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").Set v_SearchText
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebButton("name:=Search").Click
Browser("name:=Google.*").Page("title:=Google.*").WebEdit("name:=q","index:=0").Set "Mercury"


Hope u got some idea now
