How do I access security code from email (web mail)?

Patients received two separate email after signing up with the hospital. One contains the link to the page where they can login. The second email contains a security code. Using TestComplete 12 with ...

    Here you go,

     

    If you call  getSecurityCode() then you will get return value as your security code

     

     

    function test()
{
 Log.Message(getSecurityCode("<Your Message body text>"))
}

     

     

     

     

    function getSecurityCode(str_EmailBody)
{
      
      var staticStringStart = "access code is ";
      var staticStringEnd = ". You will";
      
      var startPos = aqString.Find(str_EmailBody,0,false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);
      var endPos = aqString.Find(str_EmailBody,staticStringEnd,0,false);
      
      Log.Message(aqString.SubString(str_EmailBody,startPos,endPos - startPos));
      return aqString.SubString(str_EmailBody,startPos,endPos - startPos);
}

I am getting "cility forms access code is 22RP3DPM", when I am running the following script:

 

function emailMessage(){

  var emailMessage = Aliases.browser.pageMailinator.frameMessage.panelAccessCode

  var massageString = emailMessage.GetAttribute("innerText")

  {
     Log.Message(massageString)
  }

  var staticStringStart = "access code is ";
	var staticStringEnd = ". You will";
      
  var startPos = aqString.Find(massageString, 0, false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);
  var endPos = aqString.Find(massageString, staticStringEnd, 0, false);
      
  Log.Message(aqString.SubString(massageString, startPos, endPos - startPos));
  return aqString.SubString(massageString, startPos, endPos - startPos);
}

I tried var staticStringStart = "\"Your AMG - Facility forms access code is "; 

Got same result. Can not figure out how to get rid of "cility forms access code is " !

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks

Gotcha... You missed to type the staticStringStart in your startPos code. :)

 

var startPos = aqString.Find(massageString,staticStringStart, 0, false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);

    Fabulous! It worked! Thank you so very much. I will have to study the logic behind what you just showed me, when I have a little downtime.

     

    I am learning every day. Thanks to all the pros in this board like yourself. :)

    Hi Shakar,

     

    Quick question, what is the purpose of 

     

    return aqString.SubString(massageString, startPos, endPos - startPos);   ?

     

    I am trying to better understand the bits and peaces of the whole thing.

     

    Thanks.

      In JavaScript/JScript and other similar languages, the "return" statement sends back to the caller the value following return.

       

      EDIT - Return is actually fairly universal.  The syntax of how it is used is a bit different from language to language but, generally, if you have a method that should return a value, you'll use return

      So, if I do the following:

       

      function foo(myName) {
   var relationship;
   switch(myName) {
   case 'ROBERT': 
        relationship = 'FATHER';
        break;
   case 'HEATHER': 
        relationship = 'MOTHER';
        break;
   case 'NATALIA', 'CHARIS': 
         relationship = 'DAUGHTER';
         break;
   default relationship = 'NOT RELATED';
   }
}

function bar() {
    Log.Message(foo('CHARIS'));
}

      And run just the bar function, my output will say 'DAUGHTER'.

       

      In your case, the function returns your access code which you can then assign to a variable and use anywhere else you need it.

        Hi Robert,

         

        This is a wonderful example and explanation. Thanks to you, it became much more easier for me to access the security code elsewhere. As always, you are always there to rescue people from tight spot.
