Validate String for specific character in a specific position.

Using a keyword test how would you validate that the 10th position of a string is of a specific character, for example. TxStatus=0&OrderId=100121&CardType=MC&CardSuffix=5454&ApprovalCode=198538 ...

    We managed to resolve this by assigning a variable value like so.

    aqString.GetChar(Aliases.browser.wndSOURCE_VIEWER.page32770.RICHEDIT50W.wText,9)

    Then doing an IF Then to pull the result of the 9th position in the variable.

What you want is aqString.GetChar(s,10) where 's' is the string and '10' is the position.

      Check the general subject of Debugging Tests and Evaluating Expressions. With the Evaluator you can explore using the function calls on the object in question.

       

      Offhand, I'd say that you have to use a Code Expression using aqString.GetChar()  (note spelling), and that it is not likely that a character has the value 0.  Instead, compare to a (one-character) string.  (You will not need to quote the string.)
