Hi,
this answer may not be suitable for you, but I experienced myself such
problems (which where caused by the website, not webtest BTW). You can see
below how I deal with those:
<storeXPath xpath="/my/X/path" property='fileName'/>
<groovy description="Format fileName property for suitable test">
def props = step.webtestProperties
def fname = props.fileName
fname = (fname =~ /[^a-zA-Z0-9]/).replaceAll("")
props.putAt("fileName", fname)
</groovy>
<verifyProperty name="fileName" text="my text to match"/>
Basically, I store my value, treat it in a groovy step to keep only
alpha-numeric characters, then compare it in a verifyProperty step.
Hope it can help...
Regards,
Guillaume
