This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.
This action is applicable to the following controls: richtext, text box, text view.
                                
                                    	window	control	pattern
check pattern in text	WBAT	email	{[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}}
                                
                            
  • The pattern 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 any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
