Regular expressions
If you use text matching on pages with various labels, you might be unable to locate a label by using a simple text string. In this case, you can use a regular expression.
For example, one car rental company might use the label Date,
another might use the label Pickup date, while another
might use Pickup Date. In this example, you can use
the Locate library regular expression actions, including the
following actions.
| Library | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Locate | RegExFind | Same as WordFind, except that it supports regular expressions. |
| Locate | FindLastRegEx | Same as FindLastWord, except that it supports regular expressions. |
One way you can search for any of the three pickup date
labels in the previous example is by using a single regular expression.

Some of this usage is described in detail in the following MSDN article
