Regular expression in Select - Maverick - 07-13-2009

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

Let me know if you need any more info.
