If you want to match for the character “B” anywhere in the string, the regular expression you need is “.*B.*” (without the quotes). If you want a case-insensitive match, use “.*[bB].*”. Matthew

Thanks Richard, I have tested B.* and it works but it seems to do so because B is the first character in "BCSMLX". If I try something like C.* it fails. I realize might have been unclear in my first message but I want to check if a specific character is present anywhere in the test string. (The string represents six different build steps that I want to be able to switch on or off just by removing the letter for the step.)

I'm trying to use the regular expression match for the condition but cannot get a simple substring match to work. The test setting in the script defintion is as follows: Expression: B Label: BCSMLX And the output when run is: : Regular expression run condition: Expression=[B], Label=[BCSMLX] Run condition [Regular expression match] preventing perform for step [BuilderChain] : The only expression I manage to get to work is the one following the example doc for the plugin: Expression: ^BCSMLX$ Label: BCSMLX But for that I could as well use string compare. Now I am no expert in regular expressions but all I find on the web indicates that expression "B" should result in a match if B is found anywhere in the string. I have also tried ^B and B{1} but none of these work either. But I'm probably doing something stupid... can somebody please help me out?
