Imagine a social media application where a user 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.
Expected result: Expected strings need to be found in actual string.
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.
