- value argument:
- The value 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.*}
matchesstarch
,marching
,testarchitect
, etc. - An empty value argument results in Pass if the control’s value is indeed empty, otherwise Fail.
- In the case of Boolean-state controls, such as check boxes and radio buttons, the values 1, on, true and yes are all equivalent to the selected state. While 0, off, false and no are equivalent to the cleared state.
- The value argument can accept regular expressions. Note that argument values that include regular expressions must be entirely enclosed in curly braces {}. As an example,
- Note that the TA property of the control checked by this action varies by control class. In all cases, it is the property whose value is on display.
- This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>
is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>
, the action is skipped during execution.
