dynamic regular expression in _link

Hi All,

I need to test if a page contains a link that match some regular expression builded by external data es:
var $username = "docente0001"; // I got "username0001" from a query to a excell file
_assertExisits(_link(/$username/, "is not a " + $username + "home page!");

When I run my test the assert always fails on a page that contains a link similar to this:

<a id="mylink">Wellcome docente0001 in your home page</a>

I need a regular expression because text inside link could change

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Roby

    Roby you can convert a string to a regular expression via new RegExp(string)
    var $username = "docente0001"; 

_assertExisits(_link(new RegExp($username)),  "is not a " + $username + "home page!");
