How to use Regex in Recording variables

[s.abdourafiq]

Hi,

I used the CheckFilesExists function of Ranorex library and I want to variate the pattern so i put it as a variable, but I want to customize it so that the pattern will start with the value of the variable and end with any text because the end of the name of the file changes.

To do so, I tried to use Regex in my variable but it does not work.
Is there a way to use Regex ?

Hi,

I'm afraid, regex cannot be used like this in user code parameters. What you actually need to do is to manipulate the content of variable, either before using variable in user code method, or directly in method.

Thank you for your answer.

And for anyone who needs to know, i managed to do that by adding a user code before the checkFilesExists, that concatenates two values, the first value takes the variable and the second one takes the regex metacharacter and i gave the returning concatenated value to the pattern.
