Regular Expression for Date not working - qtplearner08 - 05-02-2008 Hello, I'm very new to QTP and just started going through the QTP Tutorial with comes with QTP 9.2 software. Right now I'm reading Lesson 7. I followed exactly what is been asked to do in the lesson regular expression for date. [0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/200[0-9] - This instructs QuickTest to check that each character in the selected text matches the number-range format defined by the regular expression. The expression checks for the following format: MM/DD/200Y. But when i run the test it fails. Test Results ------------ Text Checkpoint "CheckExpectedText": Failed Date and Time: 5/2/2008 - 10:40:17 Checkpoint Timeout: Waited 5 seconds out of a possible 5 seconds Details Text Checkpoint: captured "5/2/2008" between San Francisco and SELECT , expected "[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/200[0-9]" Regular Expression : ON Match case: OFF Exact match: OFF Ignore spaces: ON Can you please tell me what's going wrong and also how to debug such issues? Thanks in advance RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - Ankur - 05-02-2008 I think you can get it on your own... there is some problem with regular exp. It doesn't match the expected string. RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - qtplearner08 - 05-02-2008 Hello Ankur, thanks for your reply, but i tried many timngs and still not able to find out what's worng. can you please let me know what's exactly the problem? Many Thanks Shashi RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - Ankur - 05-02-2008 ok here is something you can work on... Your app doesn't append 0 when month <10 and date part < 10 so tweak the reg ex a little...as of now your reg ex only works when date is in the format 05/02/2008 and not 5/2/2008... let us know how it goes... RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - newqtp - 05-03-2008 Try this one it will cover 5/2/2008 Code: (0[1-9]|1[012])[//](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[//]200[0-9]) RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - qtplearner08 - 05-07-2008 Thanks a lot for your reply Since the date format is 5/7/2008 i had to remove 0 from the below string and it worked nicely... Code: (0[1-9]|1[012])[//](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[//]200[0-9]) so the reg expression is used is Code: ([1-9]|1[012])[//]([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[//](200[0-9]) Thanks Shashi RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - Akhila - 10-30-2008 Hi, Code: ([1-9]|1[012])[//]([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[//](200[0-9]) In the above expression Can we replace double slash [//] with single slash / I wondering whether below expression is valid or not. If not why? Code: ([1-9]|1[012])/([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(200[0-9]) Thanks, Akhila RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - surya_7mar - 11-29-2008 Hi You can use the below Code: For MM/DD/YYYY \d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - VENKATAREDDY_M - 02-03-2009 Hi u can use below one d/m/yyyy Code: "(\d|[12]\d|3[01])/(\d|1[0-2])/(19|20)\d\d)" m/d/yyyy Code: "(\d|1[0-2])/(\d|[12]\d|3[01])/(19|20)\d\d)" This will narrow down the chances of failing Thanks VENKATA RE: Regular Expression for Date not working - papu - 03-10-2009 Yes I think we can.bcz forward slash(/) does not have any special meaning as that of backslsh(\).In the code ([1-9]|1[012])[//]([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[//](200[0-9]) i think it takes one / from [//] ,hence working fine. plz corect if am wrong |
