Values
all, attribute+attribName, tagOnly, innerOnly
•
The all value (default) searches the entire tag that is specified in the
whereToSearch
attribute.
•
The attribute+attribName value searches only within the value of the specified attribute, as shown in the following
example:
/MY_PATTERN/
This example indicates that only the value of the
ACTION
attribute of
FORM
tags should be searched. If that attribute
is not defined, the tag is ignored.
•
The tagOnly value searches only the outer tag and ignores the
innerHTML
tag. This value is valid only if
whereToSearch
is a tag.
•
The innerOnly value searches only the
innerHTML
tag and ignores the outer tag. This value is valid only if
whereToSearch
is a tag.
isOptional
Description
This attribute is a flag that indicates that the search pattern is not required to find the participant. This is useful for
complex participants that might have non-critical parameters to extract. You can create some patterns for distinctly
identifying a participant and have some optional patterns for extracting non-critical parameters.
Parent

Type

Values

For example, consider the following simple recordset string:
<%
var Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = "dsn=andescoffee;";
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT * FROM PressReleases";
Recordset1.CursorType = 3;
Recordset1.Open();
