I forgot to attach the spreadsheet:

This example test will always fail with the exception: 2/2 executions of 
nested tasks failed:

    <webtest name="try data driven">
      &sharedConfig;
      <dataDriven tableContainer="test.xls">
        <invoke url="${Page}" />
        <enableJavaScript description="Disable JavaScript" enable="false" 
/>
        <!-- If label is in the form of an xpath,
             clickLink with xpath, if not, then
             clickLink with label             -->
        <ifStep>
          <condition>
            <groovy description="Check to see if the label is really an 
xpath" 
                    replaceProperties="true" >
              assert (${Label}.indexOf("/html") != -1);
            </groovy>
          </condition>
          <then>
            <clickLink xpath="${Label}" />
          </then>
          <else>
            <clickLink label="${Label}" />
          </else>
        </ifStep>
      </dataDriven>
    </webtest>

This test reads in data from a given spreadsheet (attached).  The first 
column is a list of relative URLs. The second column is a list of href 
links on corresponding URL.  The third column is the label associated with 
the href link.

Some of the "labels," however, are listed as xpaths (starting with 
/html/body...)  I need to be able to distinguish when a label is in xpath 
form, so I chose to make a groovy assertion based on the java indexOf() 
method.  For some reason, though, webtest always fails on this assertion. 
I have also tried evaluating the string with an if/else block. This failed 
with similar results.  I also tried storing the ant variable as a webtest 
property and evaluating it this way.  This also failed. 

Note: I have tried echo-ing the ${Label} variable inside the groovy block 
and it represents the string correctly.

Table Data:
Column 1

Column 2

Column 3
