Micro Focus QTP (UFT) Forums

Want to check whether following string exists in the existing string or not:-

Code:
str1 = "(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :"

str2 = "abcd(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :xwyz"

comparestr = instr(str2 ,str1)

Am getting failure.

I have used escape character like as below as well

Code:
str1 = "\(\%,\&amp;,_,\?,#,=,-\) :"

Still failure.
Any help will be appreciated.

try without any escape character.
its working in my system i have QTP 11.

Hi,

Try with the below example.
Here we go.

Code:
str1 = "abcd(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :xwyz"

str2 = "(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :"

If (Instr(1,str1,str2)>0) then 

   Msgbox "Substring is present in given string"

Else 

   Msgbox "Substring is not present in given string"

End if
