Regular Expression Syntax - Anu - 05-25-2010

I want to use regular expression for the link because on click of every link,it navigates to new web page.
The code is written below:

Code:
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).Link(“Next”).Click

Here ‘Next’ is present on every web page and instead of using Data Table, i want to use regular expression in the Object Repository.
Please tell me which syntax of the regular expression i used in this.

Thanks in advance…….

Regards,
Anu

look for the similar properties of link 'next' in the pages and use descriptive programming.
e.g

Code:
Browser().Page().Link("text:=Next","html tag:=A")

does this help?

RE: Regular Expression Syntax - Anu - 05-25-2010

Hi Saket,
I used the below code

Code:
Browser().Page().Link("text:=Next","html tag:=A")

That is :

Code:
Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Link("text:=Next","html tag:=A").Click

When i run this then it shows the error message which i have attached with it.

I just gave an example, you will need to look for the properties which will uniquely identify your object.

HI anu ,

By Using Object Spy u can get the object properties & values of it.
U can use any values of it ,for example like same as above Browser().Page().Link("text:=Next","html tag:=A","hwnd:=xxx",xxx).
U can additional properties of it by using. then surely it wil identity.try it once by adding additional properties

Hi Saket,

As Next is present on every page but it has different url or href corresponding to that page.

RE: Regular Expression Syntax - Saket - 05-28-2010

try regularising the url of page. It should be something like

Code:
http.*://.*/pages/Lookup\.aspx\?.*

RE: Regular Expression Syntax - Anu - 05-28-2010

Hi Saket,

this is the url "http://210.212.176.226/ins_byname.php?page=2" for Next and which increments as we click the Next.
Here page increments such as page=3,page=4.The rest of the url remains same.
Could you please tell what will be the regular expression for the same.

Anu
