Answer / prajnadipta

While dealing with Data Driver Wizard in WinRunner,the
major thing is that, it does not check for things such as
object levels.The wizard finds only the fixed point in the
test script.To overcome the object level problem Regular
Expression is used.

A Regular Expression is a string that specifies a complex
search phrase inorder to enable WinRunnerto identify
objects with varing names or titles.

Answer / suneel reddy

Regular Expression is used whenever window labels are
changing continuously

example
when u r learing yahoo inbox(79) messages are there

while ur executing Inbox(80)

while running the script it may cause failure

so by defining Regular Expression we can control it

another example

when ur learning lohin page first it is Verify password is

while executing it is invalid username

so label is different
