actually, the easier way is:
e.text_field( :id, /_Name1$/.set( "ashtharaj" )
$ is the regex standard way of denoting END of line.
^ is the regex standard way of denoting BEGINNING of line.
I've never seen \A & \Z before. I would try to use standard regex
things ... that way you aren't stuck when you eventually grow into using
other programming languages which don't support that non-standard extension.
... just my $0.02
