Descriptive Program - Not able to use object property which is having Bracket - srselva - 09-28-2012

In my application many links has brackets along with the name

eg:

Code:
Browser("name:=xxx").Page("name:=yyy").link("text:=(zzz)").click

QTP throws an error for this code, because the link has brackets.

i would like to exactly valaite the name of the link..

@srselva,

the brackets has a special meaning in vbscript. They are used in regular expression. You need to escape them using escape character "\".

try the below code.

Code:
Browser("name:=xxx").Page("name:=yyy").link("text:=\(zzz\)").click
