Regular expressions/property value inside a data source

Not sure of If the question is understood right.

May be you check the following link about regular expressions in groovy, may be it helps
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Regular+Expressions

Thanks for your response


I figured out how to pass property value inside a data source:

In the custom properties when creating an environment i set the value of activeEnvironment=staging. Then created another environment named as production and set the value of activeEnvironment=prod

Then in project level i declared a custom property activeEnvironment. In testcase level in setup script , did the following:

def activeEnvironment=context.expand('${#Project#activeEnvironment}')
log.info "activeEnvironment>> "+ activeEnvironment

Then in excel which is a data source gave values like:
http://${#Project#activeEnvironment}/test1


During runtime the url gets replaced with the actual environment value . If it is staging it will be http://staging/test1
If it is prod it is http://prod/test1

Similarly how to use regular expression inside a data source ex: excel with many row. for example: http://(?s).*/test in the
datasource and create an xpath assertion with expected value : ${DataSource#Expected result} and select allow wildcard, it does not recognized that the value provided in the excel is a regular expression. It fails saying match not found. Please let me know.
