[Resolved] Using regular expressions in assertions

Hi guys, I am new to SoapUI and using the free version. So far things have been going quite well and I made a few (contains and not contains) assertions to validate xml responses and they work fine...

You can catch the value using a groovy script and do all validations you need.
for ex:
you can try the below script in the script assertion:

def holder = new XmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContentAsXml )
holder.namespaces["ns1"] = "your namespace"

def nodevalue = holder.getNodeValue( "//ns1:Node1[1]//ns1:SubNode[1]//ns1:ElementValue[1])

this node value will get the element value and you can do validations with the value you got. Groovy is much similar to java or javascript.
