Comparison help through Instr Function

Question

I want to convert int into string in VB6 and parse that string into Instr function, but I am unable to do that, here is my code:

'.WebElement("total_Count").GetROProperty("innertext")=1 - 10 de 31 candidatos 
'This is the value in innertext, and i want to compare the 31

totalCount=31
CStr (totalCount)
        If InStr(totalCount,.WebElement("total_Count").GetROProperty("innertext"))>0Then
                MsgBox "Found"
                Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"DBVerification","TotalCount Verified From DB"
                Else
                MsgBox "Not Found"
                Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"DBVerification","TotalCount Not Verified From DB"
        End If

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Comparisons on VB6 are case sensitive unless Option Compare Text is used at top of the module/form/class; in this particular case it wouldn't matter though. Also, CStr(totalCount) is not assigning to anything is not changing TotalCount into a string; it returns a string.

totalCount=31

If InStr(lcase(CStr(totalCount)),lcase(.WebElement("total_Count").GetROProperty("innertext")))>0 Then
   MsgBox "Found"
   Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"DBVerification","TotalCount Verified From DB"
Else
   MsgBox "Not Found"
   Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"DBVerification","TotalCount Not Verified From DB"
End If

为什么不将它们与数字进行比较，即您的处理方式，如果totalcount = 31并且innertext包含1，您将得到True，这肯定不是您想要的。

Swap the arguments of the Instr() function:

InStr(.WebElement("total_Count").GetROProperty("innertext"), totalCount)>0

Now you are looking if 31 is inside your innertext. You don't have to use cStr() , lCase() or other stuff, VBScript will do that for you.

Edit: What you really want to make it work right is a regular expression of course:

Dim regEx, matches, actualTotal
set regEx = new RegExp
regEx.Global = True
regEx.pattern = "\d+ - \d+ de (\d+) candidatos"
Set matches = regEx.Execute(Value)
actualTotal = matches(0).submatches(0)

Now you can compare actualTotal with the expected total, without the bothering if the number is in the rest of the string. For example: "31 - 40 de 42 candidatos" will result in a false positive. Using a RegExp you prevent that behaviour.
