Hi venkat,

 

Simply use .* where the deynamic values or changing.

 

Goto Object Repository .select Inbox object then in Innertext or text property clik on right side ,in the pop up windows just type Inbox.* then check the Regular Expression check box .It will ask you use / in regular expression simply click no.

 

In innertext you will see *.*Inbox.* like this try to highlight the link.

Hi Kishore,

your option will also click on the link like "My Inbox...." or "Go to Inbox...." or anything which contain the word "Inbox". Which i dont thing is tidy and robust option to do.

I would suggest the below:

Use below string......

Inbox\([0-9].*\)

This will just replace the numbers in brackets...

Let me know if it helps.....

All the very best...

Hi Dmitry

 

I don't want to use Object Repository. I want Descriptive Manner.

Regular Expressions concepts are the same for both Object Repository and Descriptive programming.
Mentioned video explains how to work with Regular Expressions.

You can see this video about working with QTP Descriptive Programming (DP). You will be able to create any DP statement,
