Where exactly can regular expressions be used in TestComplete? NameMapping? Elsewhere?
My test application is MFC based and comes with all of the warts and defects therein. I am having problems name mapping the application and its controls because after creating them, they don't seem to work. Every time my test app is invoked is has different classname values. I thought I could solve the problem via the use of a regular expression. I've tried using the regular expression as a constant and as a project variable value and referencing the variable. Neither appear to work.
I am trying to represent the classname
Afx:01320000:8:00010003:00000000:05F32707
with a regular expression since this value changes with each instance of the test application. My regular expression is
Afx:[0-9]{8}:[0-9]{1}:[0-9]{8}:[0-9]{8}:*
Am I attempting something that is not supported or attempting it in the wrong place?
TIA,
Randall Bowen
TestComplete has regular expressions but I don't see any reference for name mapping, only for testing.

I think what you want for NameMapping is wildcards:
