  Attached a screen capture of the reported failure of finding a substring in a string with “.Contains”. Also included is that objects settings.

  The program fails on this line quickly, almost instantly. Unlike other instances where it can take seconds to make a decision on the Exist command for a text object.

  Thanks.

  I found a work around. If I break up the original string “AI 3 Test – Cycle 1-3” into two strings “AI 3 Test” and “Cycle 1-3” and test each for existence the test script passes.

  Hello Bruce, thanks for using ZAPTEST

  For finding a substring within a string you may use Exist method but the property “Recognition Type” should be changed to “OCR Partial” – this allows partial string recognition.

  Hope that helps.
  Thanks,

  Using “Exist” with the “OCR (Partial)” has a much better success rate and its one less line of code in this instance.

  Thanks
