RegEX matching type in the application modeller

MarwaSedik1 — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 15:33:12 GMT

Hi there,
While spying on SAP element with the following Id attribute

/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]/usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0013/subSUB1:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1200/subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1102/tabsHEADER_DETAIL/tabpTABHDT3

the highlighted "3" with red is changeable based on the different window layouts (changing between 3 , 6 or 5) so I was trying to use Reg Ex to solve this issue but it didn't work with me with using the following expression

\/app\/con\[0\]\/ses\[0\]\/wnd\[0\]\/usr\/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:001/d\/subSUB1:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100\/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1200\/subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1102\/tabsHEADER_DETAIL\/tabpTABHDT3

I replaced 3 by \d
and put \ before any special character like / or [ or ]

so what should I do ?

Hi Marwa,

I believe you can separate the components using () and [] in regex and use [0-9] for a single digit number instead.

Please try using this instead and confirm if this works:

^(\/app\/con\[0\]\/ses\[0\]\/wnd\[0\]\/usr\/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:001)[0-9](\/subSUB1:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100\/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1200\/subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1102\/tabsHEADER_DETAIL\/tabpTABHDT3)$

Another alternate method would be to store the below value to a data item and change the number as per screen/logic. Would need to set the Attribute ID as type Dynamic.

/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]/usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0013/subSUB1:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1200/subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1102/tabsHEADER_DETAIL/tabpTABHDT3

Please let me know if this answer was helpful.
Thanks

Hi Avinash,
thanks a lot for your answer, I tried your solution but unfortunately it didn't work also.
and the second solution to make it dynamic isn't applicable for me, because layout conditions are too many.

Hi Marwa,

Could you please share a screenshot of your app modeller with Element and regex value. (Eg below)

Thanks

You have used wrong slash in your regex code . You should use \d but i see above you have used /d . Can you confirm please ?
