How to check a small text into a string?

[Adam Nguyen]

Hi everybody,

I have to present about QTP, I have a big problem when i verified a small text that exist in a string.

For example: I want to check the word "test" exists in the string "test is a job that we have to check error or bug from a product...."

Please help me to verify it. I don't know how to write an action to check this verify point.

Thank you so much

Hi,
Try Instr command.

Returns the position of the first occurrence of one string within another.
InStr([start, ]string1, string2[, compare])

Here is the code..

Code:

str = "test is a job that we have to check error or bug from a product...."

s = InStr(1,str,"test")

If s = 1 then
  Msgbox "Given word exists in the string"
else
  Msgbox "Given word does not exists in the string"
End If

What about if you wanted to check a word's existence in multiple text strings, or maybe the text string is altered. Is there a way to have it check for the word more dynamically or less exact?
