Using DP with variables

[pjeigenn]

Hi, i am new in this forum, I am from Argentina, sory if you don´t understand completely what i write.

I am using DP programming cause a web page have identical objects. I read that the correct form is using the parameter index or location, i chose index.
Descripting an object, is not posible to use variables as a description of the object am i right?

Example working:

Code:

aux=Environment.Value("ActionIteration")-7 If (aux=0) Then Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=0").Click End If If (aux=1) Then Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=1").Click End If

Example NOT working:

Code:

aux=Environment.Value("ActionIteration")-7 Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=aux").Click

The 2nd way is much better cause i can add new rows in the dataTable without touching the code, but it doesn´t work for me, what i am doing wrong? Is there any way to do what i am looking for?

Thanks

as 'aux' is variable you can not use it within double quotes, use concatenation when use this way, see below -

Code:

Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=" & aux).Click

hope this helps.

If the line of code given by Saket does not work, Try this:

Code:

Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=" & Cstr(aux)).Click

What Saket is telling is absolutely right ,if we are passing a variable can not use it within double quotes, use concatenation

You can use the below code...

Code:

aux=Environment.Value("ActionIteration")-7 aux=Cint(aux) Browser("Browser").Page("Page_4").Link("name:=Unicef -","html tag:=A","text:=Unicef -","Index:=" & aux).Click

@Sasmita: In your post, why do you think CStr should be used instead of Cint where (Environment.Value("ActionIteration")-7)
would return a Numerical value which would be assigned to Index.

Thanks to all, works great without cstr.
