To sum up, it turned out that * the regex="true/false" attribute is currently not supported by excelVerifyCellValue; therefore * any regular expression that is used in an Excel cell value pattern match needs to be surrounded with "/" delimiters * any meta characters such as "/", "(" and ")" have to be escaped by prefixing with "\" * the whole regex has to be on one line.
There are a couple of helpful resources for anyone developing regular expressions and wanting to test them. I blogged about this at http://aspsp.blogspot.com/2008/04/having-problems-with-string-matching.html and someone attached a comment containing a link to the "Regex Coach", a stand-alone program - http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/. _______________________________________________ WebTest mailing list WebTest@lists.canoo.com http://lists.canoo.com/mailman/listinfo/webtest
