Use an Extracted Value in Code

[Adrian]

Hi,

 

I have extracted a value as a test step called 'TruckIDWithQuotes' that I have obtained from an element titled 'TruckDetailsElement'.  The value extracted has quotes "" around it as part of the extracted value, i.e. "abcd".

I want to use this extracted value without the quotes.  How can I create another extracted value without the quotes, 'TruckIdWithoutQuotes', i.e. abcd which I then want to use in a coded step.

I'm assuming I need to use a coded step to "reformat" the extracted value so it doesn't have the quotes?

Can someone please assist.

Thanks

Adrian

Hello Adrian,

I would suggest using the following method to try trimming the quotes from your extracted variable:

Replace("\"", "")

 

So if you add the following line in a coded step:

Log.WriteLine(GetExtractedValue("ExtrVarName").ToString().Replace("\"", ""));

And replace the ExtrVarName with the name of your extracted value you should get it output in the log without the quotes.

If you would like to set the new stripped value as extracted variable please follow this article on how to proceed. I am also adding an example below:

string noQuotes = GetExtractedValue("ExtrVarName").ToString().Replace("\"", ""));
SetExtractedValue("ExtractedValue", noQuotes);

Hope this helps.

Please note that this question is not directly connected to Test Studio but rather more of a programming question.
