test.ocrTextPresent how to use Regular Expressions

[Danil Sh.rf]

I have image with more text. Part of text looks like "Hello(word), today(all) and other text". I want to search "Hello(word)" with regexp "Hello*".
I use

test.ocrTextPresent('Hello(word)', {1000, message}, window)

and Squish returned boolean True
if I sent

test.ocrTextPresent('Hello*', {3000, message}, window)

Squish returned boolean False, it means that could not found word in text.
How can to set regexp for this method?

Hi,

This function is for verifying a single, hardcoded piece of text.

You can implement this yourself by having it fetch all text (ideally from the smallest area/region/scope possible, for example just a single window, instead of all windows/the complete desktop), and then perform any kind of search you desired in the string returned by the OCR functionality.

Best regards,
