using variables inside a search parameter

[Guest George]

Hi Guys, Well done on WAPT!

 

I would like to know if there is a way to use a variable inside left or right boundaries in the search parameter function?

 

eg. I am taking a value from a drop down list and the only thing I know in advance is the text that will be in the list because I had set that string in a previous step. So in a static scenario the left boundary would look like this: Left Boundary= <str>WAPTUser5</str>

 

What I want to do is make part of the Left Boundary sting dynamic based on a value I set earlier: Left boundary= <str>$Var(Username)</str>

 

Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately it is not possible now.

Unfortunately it is not possible now.

Do you think this could be a good feature for a future release?

I use this type of inline substitution often in SoapUI but I was hoping to do this with a web testing tool like WAPT as well.

 

Thank you,

Unfortunately it is not possible now.

In the mean time is there a way (maybe) to get the last item from the list using the Index parameter?

Unfortunately both things are not available directly in the current version of WAPT, however in WAPT Pro you can use JavaScript code to process server responses. So, if you have the Pro version, you can do this with help of regexps.
