Micro Focus QTP (UFT) Forums

Hi,

I have a problem with the links that contain "(" or ")".
I use next vbscript code:

Code:
link = "link (test)"

Set obj_DescAssert = Description.Create

obj_DescAssert("name").value= link

NameToUse = "name:="+link

Browser(BrowserName).Page(TitlePageName).Link(NameToUse).Exist

In this case the QTP do not recognize the link.
If I use:
link = "link test"
everything work OK.

Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue?

To access a link "link (test)" you must type "link \(test\)"

The reason is "(" & ")" are used for creating regular expressions. To treat them as literal characters, we need to append an escape character before them. This escape charatcer is \
