Text Exists in web table

Hi Experts

Is it possible to use the Text Exists activity on a web table combined with some sort of Trim function?

The table has a header named “Subject” and is populated with the file name when a file is uploaded. I need to verify the file is uploaded and the most recent file will always be in row 2. Therefore I am using the following selector:

<html title='myApplication' />
<webctrl id='*File*Journal*' tag='TABLE' />
<webctrl tag='TD' colName='Subject' tableRow='2' />

The issue is that the text in the table cell contains a whitespace or similar. So when I look for text “Filename” the activity will always return FALSE. I tried adding Filename + “*” but that still returns FALSE.

Any ideas for getting this to work?

@jacchr
Use element exists activity and wherever you think there can be space or any other characters, mark them by *

Thanks - I didn’t think of that but it solved my problem.

@Madhavi, can we also use the String.Contains(text)?

Using String.Contains will be a long approach as to check this, you need to retrieve the string first.
