excelVerifyCellValue is more restricted than verifyText
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: WT-498
         URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-498
     Project: WebTest
        Type: Bug

 Environment: all
    Reporter: Immo Huneke


* the regex="true/false" attribute is currently not supported by 
excelVerifyCellValue; therefore any regular expression that is used in an Excel 
cell value pattern match needs to be surrounded with "/" delimiters

* the whole regex has to be on one line

* any meta characters such as "/", "(" and ")" have to be escaped by prefixing 
with "\" (this is probably standard in all regular expressions)

Marc Guillemot's opinion on this feature: "This is ugly. I don't see any reason 
why the Excel step should have own syntax for text comparison. It would be good 
if someone could open an issue for that to avoid that it gets lost."

Done!
