Hi Akshay,

if you are generally asking about how to use regular expressions in TestStand:

As far is I know, TestStand still does not support regex directly.

However you can use the Windows Regex Library for that by calling it in a .Net Action Step like this:

As for accessing the text entered by the user into the Message Popup, you can access it via Step.Result.Response.

Akshay/Stefan,

TestStand does support regular expressions directly in TestStand. It can be done in the following ways:

• Use 'MatchPattern', 'FindPattern' and 'SearchPatternAndReplace' in TestStand expression.
• Use 'Regular Expression - Case Sensitive' or 'Regular Expression - Ignore Case' in String Value Test.

Hello Shashidhar,

from what I read here:

https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand-Idea-Exchange/Add-Regular-Expression-comparison-type-to-String...

these functions are "recent" additions in TestStand 2020.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks guys,
I used a .Net Call and made Regex Test from it.
