How would you use Str and Cstr commands in a Robot GUI script to convert a number to a string. Explain with an example.

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 17:00:11 +0000

The Str command adds a white space character at the beginning of the string; the Cstr command does not.

For example, the Str command converts the number 123 to ” 123″ whereas the Cstr
command converts 123 to “123″.

The inclusion of the white space character can be useful when concatenating the
result with another string, for example

“The number is” & CStr(123) results in “The number is123″
“The number is” & Str(123) would result in “The number is 123″

The same effect can be achieved with Cstr command by placing an empty space at
the end of the preceding string.

Is it possible for Rational Robot to verify the existence of a HTMLTable?

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:55:02 +0000

Yes, use the SQAFindObject command or SQAWaitForObject command, rather
than a verification point, as these two commands relate only to the object itself.
This means that any changes to the data or size of the Table will not affect the verification.
