Unable to validate an ampersand("&") in Rx

Post by rhondat77 » Wed Dec 16, 2020 2:53 pm

I am attempting to Validate a string of text in my application. The first character in the string is an ampersand - "&MSGDSN(start position, count[line])". However, when I run the test, it fails and states: The item does not match the specified value (Failed to find item ...). How do I specify an ampersand(&) in the registry and Match Value field of the script in order for Rx to recognize it??





Thanks,

What do you see inside Rx Spy for this field? How is your RxPath to this field setup?
