Hi, Note that you are using the following:
<if expr="'fail'">
You have the expr value in a double set of quotes, so you are telling
Python to evaluate a literal string 'fail', which will always evaluate to
true, and that is why you are always getting "No string is found". Also,
you need to check if the value returned from re.search is None, indicating
that the pattern was not found.
The following works for me:
<if expr="fail == None">
>From the Python documentation:
re.search(pattern, string[, flags])
Scan through string looking for a location where the regular
expression pattern produces a match, and return a corresponding
MatchObject instance. Return None if no position in the string
matches the pattern; note that this is different from finding a
zero-length match at some point in the string.
Thanks,
David

Subject: [staf-users] Searching a string in a STAX job
Hi,
I have the following code to search a sting in my STAX job. It is always
failed. Can you please help me out?
<stafcmd name="'Update Silk Include File'">
<location>"10.0.7.252"</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>'GET FILE
"D:/Silk/Apps/Harmony/Include_Harmony.inc"'</request>
</stafcmd>
<script>
import re
result=STAFResult
str_to_find='const STRING WORKING_DIR = "O:/FAST/Harmony/{VERSIONSTRING}/'
str_to_replace='C:/Program Files (x86)/Fekete/Harmony 2011/'
fail=re.search(str_to_find, result)
</script>
<if expr="'fail'">
<log message="1">'No string is found %s' %
STAFResult</log>
<else>
<log message="1">'%s is found' % STAFResult</log>
</else>
</if>
Thanks,
Cindy
