• The
value is a simple search string that is case-sensitive. It cannot be used to extract parameters.
searchString
• The
/regularExpression/
• The value is used if no pattern is given. It is always considered a match, and the entire value is assigned
<empty>
to the first parameter.
In the following example, to identify the participant text
define a simple pattern, followed by a precise pattern that also extracts the two parameter values:
<searchPattern>Field.Items</searchPattern>
<searchPattern paramNames="rs,col">
<![CDATA[
/<%=\s*(\w+)\.Field\.Items\("(\w+)"\)/
]]>
</searchPattern>
This example matches the pattern precisely and assigns the value of the first subexpression (
and the second subexpression (
Note: It is important that regular expressions start and end with a slash (/). Otherwise, the expression is used as a literal
string search. Regular expressions can be followed by the regular-expression modifier
in ). For example, VBScript is not case-sensitive, so it should use
/pattern/i
and should use
/pattern/
Sometimes you might want to assign the entire contents of the limited search location to a parameter. In that case,
provide no pattern, as shown in the following example:
<searchPatterns whereToSearch="tag+OPTION">
<searchPattern>MY_OPTION_NAME</searchPattern>
<searchPattern paramNames="optionLabel" limitSearch="innerOnly">
</searchPattern>
</searchPatterns>
This example sets the
optionLabel
<searchPattern> attributes
The following items are valid attributes of the
paramNames
Description
This attribute is a comma-separated list of parameter names whose values are being extracted. These parameters are
assigned in the order of the subexpression. You can assign single parameters or use a comma-separated list to assign
multiple parameters. If other parenthetical expressions are used but do not indicate parameters, extra commas can
be used as placeholders in the Parameter Name list.
