Best place to look at the moment is in the selftests:

http://webtest.canoo.com/fisheye/browse/CanooWebTest/selftests/tests/verifyContent.xml?r=13146

If your input was:

 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Dummy</title>
 </head>

 <body>
 Dummy page
 </body>
 </html>

Then after running:

 <verifyContent referenceFile="expectedResultOnlyTags.html">
     <lineSeparatorFilter/>
     <contentStripper description="remove content leaving only tags"/>
 </verifyContent>

Would pass so long as your reference file contained:

 <html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>

It used to be the case that you could get the above reference
content generated for you or alternatively feed your expectation
in from a previous saved input with dummy values. I.e. the dummy
values would be stripped out of both the input and the referencefile.
I don't think those switches are working at the moment.

You might also consider the replaceFilter. If your dates always
end with PST and are always inside a span of class MstTxt, something
like the following, although a little brittle, might work (not tested):

 <replaceFilter regex='(<span class="MstTxt">)[^>]*PST(</span>)'
                replacement="$1[DATE REMOVED]$2"/>

An example of usage is in the verifyContent manual page.

Hi,
can someone provide me an example on how to use
contentStripper and tagStripper? I could not find it
in webtest manual pages. It says in verifyContent
manual, but it is not there.

what I am trying to do is to filter following part
from BUI page before the comparison because it
contains dynamic date and time which causes
verifyContents fails.

...
<div class="MstTmeDiv"><span class="MstTxt">Last
Update:</span>&nbsp;<span class="MstTxt">Feb 16, 2007
3:28:42 PM PST</span>&nbsp;</div>...

how to use contentStripper or any filter in this case?

thanks,

Chang
