How to extract the data from the ObjectProperty

[Nayak_Ragh]

I have spied on an object using 'Set Variable Value' assigning it to a new variable (Var1). Its value is  Aliases.Ax32.Purchase_order.TaskPageLayout.PartHostSplitContainer.SplitterPanel.NativeWindowControl.NativeWindowWithEvents.PurchTable.AxTabCtrl.AxPaneWnd.AxPaneWnd.Cable_Assembly_Llc.Value

Now I need to extract the content of this 'Value' at the end, split it and extract particular data.

Could you please advise how to achieve this?

This is a desktop application and my operation is to capture the ID generated, to be used as an input for further testing.

ok so you grabbed the value (I'm assuming string) , what does the full string look like

what are the delimiters? how would you distinguish that something is an ID number? is it always the same number of digits? 

you are going to have to script some sort of a string concatenation function... maybe with more info someone in the community can help you out 🙂

The 'Value' I grabbed looks something like this  - 081699 : 10301 - Cable Assembly Llc, which changes everytime I run the test and I need to extract 081699, to be used as an input in further tests.

The aqString methods will help you pick that string apart and get just the part you want.

In the ObjectProperty Aliases.Ax32.Purchase_order.TaskPageLayout.PartHostSplitContainer.SplitterPanel.NativeWindowControl.NativeWindowWithEvents.PurchTable.AxTabCtrl.AxPaneWnd.AxPaneWnd.Cable_Assembly_Llc.Value,
the Value at the end is dynamic. My problem is how to fetch that value so that i can split it based on the separators.
Example value is "081699 : 10301 - Cable Assembly Llc"

Once i assign above value to a variable, i can use aqString to split this string and assign just 081699 to another variable, that can be used for further test.

Now, i am stuck at the step-1 whre i am not able to fetch the string "081699 : 10301 - Cable Assembly Llc"

This Var1 should contain the value that you want.  Now apply aqString as needed to that variable and save that to a new variable so you can see the result without losing the original value.

This is the code I used and it worked for me

var obj = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(Aliases.Ax32.Purchase_order.TaskPageLayout.PartHostSplitContainer.SplitterPanel.NativeWindowControl.NativeWindowWithEvents.PurchTable.AxTabCtrl.AxPaneWnd.AxPaneWnd.Cable_Assembly_Llc, "Value");

var objValue = aqConvert.VarToStr(obj);

var obj1 = objValue.split(":");

var objFirst = obj1[0];

Log.Message(objFirst);
