Hi Mitte,

Thanks for responding. I'm new with Regex so please excuse my hack code. As part of a test I needed to navigate to a particular page a variable number of times as defined by a value on a page. The test in loop currently does a verifytext but I would replace this with the appropriate navigation once I found a way to loop a variable number of times. I know this goes against the goal of statically defined tests but it sure would be nice to have. My opinion would be to allow programmatic flow and simply warn users about its usage.

Thanks, Sean

Hi Sean,

the repeat count currently cannot be set to a "dynamic property" as we call it.

I have to admit that I do not understand your test. The regex \t<b>\b([0-9]*).* seems to look for the first bold number, but it will also find non-number bold (possibly empty) elements with an empty match. Maybe you are looking for \t<b>\s*(\d+)

Assume the match is "3". Then you are verifying the text "3" to appear on the page. You repeat that verification 3 times. It will never fail, since you extracted the "3" in the storeregex step, i.e. the "3" is already asserted to be in the page. I guess the verifytext should use #{count} to be 0,1,2.

cheers Mittie
