where do you define the objects as regular expression when u are using regular expressions...

Answer / mintu

There are situations when the Objects in the applications
are dynamic(having dynamic properties) and QTP fails to
recognize them. Such objects should be handles using
regular expressions.
We can define the objects using regular expression either
in the Object repository or in the code itself.

Example: the login page says" Welcome Mintu" in one login
and "Welcome guest" in another login. here we see that
Mintu and guest are two dynamic values. this needs to be
handled using regular expressions. say "Welcome .*"
here .* refers to any text appearing in the application.

Answer / devi

Regular Expressions: -
When ever the QTP is unable to identify the objects due
to the regular changes in the objects properties values
dynamically during the execution then to overcome this
problem one need to replace the corresponding property value
in the object repository with a suitable regular expression

Navigation:
• Open the object repository
• Select the desired object in the object hierarchy
• Select the desired property in the properties list
• Click on the constant value options button
• Replace the constant value with suitable regular expression
• Select the check box regular expression
• Click on ok
• Click on ok
