Hey to all,

I tried to check a text field not containing a spezified String. At the Documentation is a hint to use a special regex: To check that a specific string is not in a text, use: ^.*[^(STRING)].*\$

So I use the test case ub_ctx_checkText with the following arguments:

TEXT = ^.*[^(exception)].*\$
OPERATOR = matches

the component type is org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText

When I execute the test case, it will passing when "exception" is not contained, but it will also passing when "exeption" is contained in the text.

So what is my error?

regards,
Sascha

Hi,

I'm not the regex genius, I'll happily admit. I seem to remember someone correcting the regex, but I can't find the place, and the docs aren't changed at the moment. Either it got forgot, or it is already changed. Google might be your friend unless someone else is better in regex than I am. If you find something that works, let us know. Then we can update the docs.

Best regards,
Alex

Hey Alex,

I found a regex matching for my needs, but now i have a problem converting it to "jubula-regex". The regex is

^((?!hede)[\s\S])*$

I thought that i had to escape the '?' and the '!', but this will ending in an syntax error while the test execution. If I do not escaping anything I can not set the regex at the testcase.

Hi there,

Thanks for the update! To escape a whole string, just use single quotes around the string, so: '^((?!hede)[\s\S])*$'

I tested it and it works. I'll update the docs - thanks for your help Smile
