check clipboard

Description

Arguments

• expected

  Expected clipboard contents.

Valid contexts

This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.

Notes

• This action supports text formats only. TestArchitect treats unrecognized formats in the clipboard as blank content.
• The expected argument can accept regular expressions. Note that argument values that include regular expressions must be entirely enclosed in curly braces {}. As an example, {[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}} specifies the pattern for an acceptable email address. More simply, .* represents the general wildcard for regular expressions, so that {.*arch.*} matches starch, marching, testarchitect, etc.
• This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of the argument, or the argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
