I am trying to access the element wwhich has path which ends as " /text[@accessiblevalue='0.000001']"
but at run time the the accessiblevalue changes and it throws exception in finiding the path.

Hi,

It seems that this is a dynamic attribute which changes after each restart of your AUT.
So you have to find a unique attribute to identify the element.
Are there any other attributes available for the element?
For more information please have a look at the following links:

how to write a regular expression to find numbers like 0.00001 or 56.
so at run time it will find that element.
i am doing like this Text txt=@ " .../text[@accessiblevalue='[0-9]*'] "
is this correct if not plz correct it.

Hi,

your RanoreXPath holding the reg exp should look something like this:
/text[@accessiblevalue~'^[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*$']

• ^ ... starts with
• [0-9]+ ... a digit one or more times
• \.? ... a "." zero or one times
• [0-9]* ... a digit zero or more times
• $ ... ends with

For more details about using regular expressions in RanoreXPath have a look at following chapter of our user guide:
