You can use regular expression supported in 4test

Answer / skylark

Whenever you want to identify dynamic objects, use "Index"
(e.g. #1), "Window Location" or "Prior text". You can use
them together using "multitag" .Generally, those properties
dont change in dynamic objects

I'm involved in automation using silk test of an swing application running in a browser. There is a window whose name is a dynamic. i.e based on the input(eg: some filename) the window name keeps on changing. I need to capture the window name for every run of silk test case for different input filenames. I'm aware of GetName() in SilkTest, but its not working for me. Can anybody suggest me any logic to achieve this using silktest?
