How to use Regular Expressions in QTP? give an example.

Answer Posted / umasankar

Regular expressions enable QuickTest to identify objects
and text strings with varying values.You can use regular
expressions only for values of type string.

You can use regular expressions when:

1) Defining the property values of an object in dialog
boxes or in programmatic descriptions.

2) Parameterizing a step.

3) Creating checkpoints with varying values.

Example:

your site may include a form in which the user inputs data
and clicks the Send button to submit the form. When a
required field is not completed, the form is displayed
again for the user to complete. When resubmitting the form,
the user clicks the Resend button. You can define the value
of the button's name property as a regular expression, so
that QuickTest ignores variations in the button name when
clicking the button.
