[Wtr-general] Link description from file

Hi,

I have stored the link descriptions in a file to limit the maintenance efforts. I read the description from the file, store it in a variable and then click the link. When I use the whole link description, everything works fine:

[code]
link = "www.example.com/contact.php"
ie.link(:url, link).click
[/code]

But when I use a regular expression, then it doesn't work, because I think it is stored as a string:

[code]
link = "/contact/"
ie.link(:url, link).click
[/code]

How can I use regular expressions this way? Is there some string to regular expression conversion possibility?

Regards,
John
