Replace a string in var

Ui.Vision HowTo
1

Good morning everyone,
I couldn’t find any solution, because of that now we don’t have storeEval as a exist command in Kantu.
So, does enyone know how to replace one string inside variable?
BTW it is not a problem with string but with any char inside of variable.
I store date in var “10.09.2020” and I want to delete every single dot and my output should be: “10092020”.
I tried many solutions but finally I get same error:

  • [error]

Line 24: Error in executeScript_Sandbox code: unexpected token: numeric literal

Part of the code:

  "Command": "store",
  "Target": "${!COL4}",
  "Value": "Myvar"
},
{
  "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
  "Target": "\"var str = ${Myvar}; return str.replace(/./g,\\\" \\\");\"",
  "Value": ""

In the next step I try to fill next field by the replaced date, must be string.

Can you help me with that?

For someone who wants to fix his own problem, I’ve done it. It was easier than I expected:
check this out:)
“Command”: “executeScript_Sandbox”,
“Target”: “return ${Myvar}.replace(/(\.)/gm, “”)”,
“Value”: “Myvar”

This replaces every dot from var to any other char :slight_smile:

Admin can close the thread, thank you:)

This is the solution

Code:

{
  "Name": "Replace",
  "CreationDate": "2020-9-11",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "10.09.2020",
      "Value": "MyValue"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${MyValue}",
      "Value": "#shownotification"
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "var mystring = ${MyValue}; var replaced = mystring.replace(/\\./g,''); return replaced",
      "Value": "MyValue"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${MyValue}",
      "Value": "#shownotification"
    }
  ]
}

I am linking it to Selenium IDE string operations with executeScript_Sandbox
