Sorry, still cannot make this regular expressions thing working, though read several topics about that.

I have a field with name like content[4925][_title] and this number is always changing. How can i make my scripts working with it?

I use such code to verify and fill this field:
$addWritingTitleField = "content[][_title]";

....
_assertEqual($title, _textbox($addWritingTitleField).value);
_setValue(_textbox($addWritingTitleField), "");

    In regular expressions,

    . (a dot) means any character/number
    * means any number of times
    [ and ] have special meaning too.

    In your case you should be able to use

    $addWritingTitleField = /content\[.*\]\[_title\]/;


    Since [ and ] have special meaning, they have to be escaped using a backslash. The .* will replace any numbers between the first square brackets.

    Hope that helps.
