Hey,

Can you show the script responsible for this piece of application?
Also, write where you download the text for verification.

I can not share more code (apart from what i attached in png with original message) reason being it's production code in my company, restricted by terms and conditions. Its simple aqobject property check for a panel, where cmpEqual showing something diffrent even though i copied exact text what test complete read from the panel.

I am surprised how come Test Complete engine rejecting it even though both texts as same.

    The thing is... it's not EXACTLY.  That's the thing... those arrows represent a non-printing character.  So, if you copied and pasted the ARROW, that's a mismatch.  What I've had to do in the past is go to Object Browser and grab what's there and use that rather than what shows up in the logs.

      I have not copied it, it's what TestComplete reads through and compare with text provided using aqobject.property() 

      As there are three frames inside parent frame, it's capturing some none printing character, where comparison using * did not work

      Alternatively "text ends with" or "text contains" property did work but that's not what i wanted.

        Hi santi,

         

        If "text contains" doesn't work for you, I could suggest that you consider creating a custom comparison based on regular expressions. You can easily divide the text into groups among non-printable characters and compare them. You can find more information on how to work with regular expressions in the following article:
