Usecase/Example

Scenario: User Comments Validation

Imagine a social media application where you can leave comments on posts. As part of your automated testing, you want to verify that a comment appears correctly on the post.

Actual String Example: When a user comments "I like this post! ️ #amazing", the application stores and displays the comment in a list.

Expected String with Wildcard: If you want to check that comments containing the word "like" are displayed, regardless of any additional text, you could use a wildcard in your test case.

Testing with Wildcard: Set your expected string as "like*", where the * acts as a wildcard character that allow to search multiple characters.

Output

The resulting string is stored in the {result} and {position} output variable as True and 3,22 due to the expected string is found in actual string and on corresponding place, which can be utilized for display or other purposes.
