Inconsistent, dynamically named objects

Hello nfarr7,

Have you read about 'Selectors'?  If you are using a name map this may be what you need.  There is also an article on conditional name mapping...

Name Mapping - Selectors

If you are running scripts without using a name map then check into the Find, FindChild and FindAllChildren methods.  You can use a Property [Name(s)], [Value(s)] key pair set to return a target object or an array of all child objects you can loop through.

FindChild Method

PropValues

A value of a single property or an array of values of properties that the PropNames parameter specifies.

Values can contain wildcards or regular expressions:

• The asterisk (*) wildcard corresponds to a string of any length (including an empty string).
• The question mark (?) wildcard corresponds to any single character (including none).
• To specify more complicated sought-for patterns for property values, use regular expressions, in the following format: regexp:<pattern>. For example, regexp:gr[ae]y.
•  The property does not support native regular expression syntax, that is, the syntax provided by scripting languages. Use standard TestComplete (non-native) syntax to specify regular expressions.
