property expansion

Question

Hello,I have a variable recId which I obtain by doingdef recId = context.expand('${DataSource_RecIds#rec_name}')The problem is that rec_name is itself a variable. I am trying to do something like but its not working. def recId = context.expand('${DataSource_RecIds#${rec_name}}')What am I doing wrong.ThanksAli

actually I am using thisdef editorialAirings = context.expand( '${Airings_Count#$foo}' )where Airings_Count is a 'properties' test step and foo is property in the 'properties' test step. foo keeps changing so I need to access its value dynamically.

Hi!ok.. so you mean you have something likedef foo = "name of property"def editorialAirings = context.expand( '${Airings_Count#$foo}' )? In that case I suggest you dodef editorialAirings = context.expand( '${Airings_Count#' + foo + '}' )instead. Does that help?regards!/Oleeviware.com
