" " in search text - bostonma - 01-31-2009

Hi,

I have text something like this :

Code:
<td width="33" background="/images/main_nav_bg.gif"><img src="/images/gnav_div.gif" width="2" height="11" vspace="6" hspace="14" />

I need to store this text and verify it against actual value.
Now when I try to save this in a variable
say txt = above string,I get error message (expected end of statement) as there are many " " characters in the string itself and in QTP by default if we use " " then it is considered as comment.
can someone please help me how can I store one big sentence in a variable that contains " " within it.

Are you sure you have to verify ALL the above tags?

if yes you can extract them from their respective GetRoProperties

RE: " " in search text - bostonma - 02-04-2009

Yes,unfortunately I have to store all these variables.
This is working by placing " infront of each ", means like this (width=""2"").
Now the problem I am facing is retrieving them back to normal means(width = "2").
I tried using Replace(Var,"""",""") but this is not working.
Any other ideas?

What I am trying to do is above text is all static so I need to store static content ,add some values and then verify it against dynamic values displayed.Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Using Replace(Var,"""",""") will not work as ' " ' is a metacharacter. Hence try converting ' " ' to ASCII value (i think the ASCII value of " is 34 and use Chr(34))

Code:
vReplace = Chr(34) & Chr(34)

vValue = Replace(Var,vReplace,Chr(34))

*this code may require some chage.

Hi Manojith,

I tried using the above code, tried with some modifications as well using chr(39) too, but did not work.Thanks in adavance for your help.

Code:
sString1 = "height=""1" 

vReplace = Chr(34) & Chr(34)

vValue = Replace(sString1,vReplace,Chr(34)).
