Regular expression in Select

[Maverick]

Hello,

A very simple action...
I have a JavaList with one of the values "TestNumber1"

So I do

Code:

JavaList("name").Select "TestNumber1"

and it works

but I would like to make it shorter like:

Code:

.Select "Test.*"

but it doesn't work?!

In OR this kind of syntax is OK... but not in string

Thanks,

Hi Maverick,

Yup i will agree with you, that the select method won't work with regular expression but you can write function/method to select the listitem even with regurlar expression.

Please find the below LOC and open the Google page and then paste and run the code.

Code:

Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Link("name:=Preferences").Click 'I want to select "Hungarian" from the list box. WLSelection Browser("name:=Preferences").Page("title:=Preferences").WebList("name:=hl"),"Hung.*" Function WLSelection(strLBPath,strLBitem) Dim LBitem,allitems,itemsnum If instr(strLBitem,".*")>0 Then LBitem=Split(strLBitem,".*") allitems=strLBPath.GetROProperty("all items") allitems=split(allitems,";") For itemsnum=0 to ubound(allitems)-1 If instr(allitems(itemsnum),LBitem(0))>0 Then strLBPath.Select itemsnum Exit for End If Next Else strLBPath.Select strLBitem End If End Function
