Data Table and descriptive programing

[laura]

Ok,
Will ask the questions 1 at a time.
1) I have a link on a web browser, the object name that is recorded takes the name of whoevr is logged in. e.g if user 5, is logged in,, the link's name in the object spy will become user 5. if i now run the script and am logged in as user 7,, the script will fail as QTP name for the object has now changed to user 7. How can I reference this object so no matter who is logged in qtp can recognise the link?

Hi Laura,

Step1: Use "childObjects" Method & retrieve all links(link Count) in home page(After Login)

Step2: Use For Loop & retrieve all links "innertext" value one by one & use INSTR method to check whether the "Welcome" value is contained in Link's innertext. continue the loop till required link is found.

Step3: Once the required link is found, then use "split" method with delimiter as " " (no need of "Right" method) & get the user name & you can use anywhere.


Try to implemet the above & it can be done easily.

Hi,
I have steps 1 and 2 working. For step 3 using the split function hwo do i split the innertext which is e.g Welcome User 10. to have just User 10.

Thanks

Hi ,

Lets consider the below example.

Code:

str="Welcome User 10"
x=split(str," ")              ' here x is created as an array.

find the ubound of Array x (say ubound(x)=3 i.e x(0),x(1),x(2))

x(0) will contain "Welcome"
x(1) will contain "User"
x(2) will contain "10"

Just concatenate the x(1),x(2) by using "&" operator as below
Username=x(1)&x(2)
here Username will contain "User10"

If you want a blank space to be included in username , then try as below.
Username=x(1)&" "&x(2)
here Username will contain "User 10"


You will get the "User 10"


Hope You would get it now ...
