Handling Regexp through Perl

[Kalyan]

Hello All,

I am facing some issues with the Regular Expression in selenium with
perl. Here is the command

example :

Var[1] = sel->text_is_ok("XPATH to the location", "String.
(9343413-23432ASD121)");

From the above line the number which is in () will change based on the
device. Again 9343413 is constant but the value after the '-' will
change based on device. Now I need to add a reg exp to the above
statement ? Any ideas ??

I tried passing different values in " ". When i pass them in doubt
quotes it's taking the regexp as string. If i pass the values without
double quotes it's giving undef error message while executing the
statements.

Hi,

RegExp can only verify if the patter is in specific format. It can not generate a patter which someone else is verifying (in your case command text_is_ok is verifying the patter and it does not support regexp). Though, i am not sure about your problem, but you may try this.

my $str = "9343413-".random(); # random is user defined function which will generate the values you want.

Var[1] = sel->text_is_ok("XPATH to the location", "String.($str)");
