aqString.StrMatches only works with hard-coded strings. Seriously???

The following statement returns a boolean value as stated in the product documentation for aqString.StrMatches: result = aqString.StrMatches("dog", "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs...

Hi David, I tried the following in Test Complete 10, language JScript:


 


function testStrMatches() {


  var pattern = "dog";


  var text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs";


  var result = aqString.StrMatches(pattern, text);


  Log.Message( result );


}


 


This logs True, and inspecting in the debugger shows the value of result = True and the Type = Boolean


 


I guess this doesn't really help, but does show that what you are attempting should work.
