I am relatively new to correlation, updating existing scripts for a new release of our product. The existing scripts extract correlation values like this one to get the value of the "name" attribute of an input tag:
web_reg_save_param("c_EB1", "LB=Duration (days): </span></td><td colspan=\"1\"></td><td colspan=\"1\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"><tr><td valign=\"top\"><input name=\"", "RB=\"", "ORD=1", LAST);
which depends a whole lot on all the (non-relevant) HTML between the display text and the input field tag. Any minor change in the style breaks this correlation (e.g. the cellpadding changed, a 'style' attribute was adeded, etc, and this script broke).
Is there some way to make this more robust against changes in the HTML? What I really want is an LB with a simple wildcard that would represent an arbitrary number of characters, e.g.
"LB=Duration(days): * <input name=\"
This seems so simple and obvious, I must be missing some easy solution...?
Thanks for any ideas...
