ATF - How to validate a field that includes special characters

[Latoya]

I need to verify the text in the field of a change request. Therefore, I used the field values validation step. However, it is failing and I think it is due to the special characters included. Below is a sample of what is included. I will not post a screenshot of the actual test step. The failure is the usual “form did not match the condition.”

How can I verify the field displays the example below as is? I tried splitting the validation steps and was led to the special characters being the issue. There is double spacing, quotes, semicolons, exclamation point, left arrows… to name a few. I was not using parameters. Thanks in advance

Example below:

Lorem!! - Please ipsum " odor amet " consectetuer 9.0 Lorem ipsum!

1. Lorem ipsum’s odor amet \ consectetuer + and < consectetuer >  adipiscing: elit - elit “elit” elit
2. elit, elit / elit to elit.
3. elit - elit. 
4. elit < adipiscing > adipiscing, adipiscing < adipiscing + adipiscing > 
5. adipiscing (adipiscing)
6. adipiscing , adipiscing (adipiscing, adipiscing (;) adipiscing) adipiscing < adipiscing >.

It can only be done using Assert text on page step.

Hi 
I tried that option with the entire text, and it still failed. I tried with one line and the step failed.
