Dynamic Generation Of Control ID

Hi folks,

I am trying to set a the value of a text box that changes each time the page is loaded. Such as the following:

_setValue(_textbox("customer[addresses_attributes][1348058693509][line_1]"), "234");

I have tried doing a regular match on this, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Is there a way of finding the control each time?

Kind regards,

    Thanks Mr Raleigh Carpet Cleaning. However it does not resolve or address the above problem.

    Hi Steve,

    Try with this

    _setValue(_textbox("/customer\[addresses_attributes\]\[.*\]\[line_1\]/"), "234");
    or
    _setValue(_textbox("/customer\\[addresses_attributes\\]\\[.*\\]\\[line_1\\]/"), "234");

    Square brackets have a special meaning in regular expressions. So they need to be escaped.

    Hi narayan,

    Thank you for getting back to me quickly.

    The second solution works perfectly.

    Many thanks,

    Steve
