Regular Expression help - mitch - 04-27-2011

Hi,
I'm trying to identify a browser window in one of my tests. The name (property title) changes for each run. An example is:

abc.xyz.123.com:8076/OA_CGI/FNDWRR\.exe?temp_id=111111

The common portion is always:
abc.xyz.123.com:8076/OA_CGI/FNDWRR\.exe?temp_id=

So can I identify this window using a regular expression like this:

Code:
Window("title:=http://abc\.xyz\.123\.com:8076/OA_CGI/FNDWRR\.exe?temp_id=*")

I've put a backslash in front of each period so that they are interpreted literally.

It doesn't work, so I'm wondering if my expression is incorrect, or if I can't do this.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Hi mitch,

My first question is are you sure that the title property value is showing the URL? If, yes then you can use the below code.

Code:
Window("title:=http://abc.xyz.123.com:8076/OA_CGI/.*").Highlight

Please let me know if you need any more information.
