String#scan is not really appropriate for just testing whether a string
matches a regexp (it is certainly possible, but is overkill). the =~
operator should suffice:
def verify_field(check,result)
if $ie.text =~ Regexp.new(check)
$dt.WriteData("#{result}","Sheet1", "Pass")
else
$dt.WriteData("#{result}","Sheet1", "Fail")
end
end
I'm curious if the 'check' variable is a string, or a regexp, though - if
it's a regexp, you don't need to do Regexp.new; if it's a string, that seems
like an odd thing to pass in to match as a regexp. maybe you just want
$ie.text.include?(check)
