Can Coded UI be able to assert the disoriented text?

Say we have a script written to assert "InnerText" property of a HTML control. So we assert "Login Now"and it passes.

Now, say on the browser it is displayed as

"Login
Now"

Still CodedUI will pass it.

Is there any way this can be checked?

If the original assert checks that the string is Login Now but the web page has changed so that the browser shows the two lines:

Login
Now

then the assert will fail because the string is Login\r\nNow. (From the question it is possible that the string also has some spaces, so it could be Login \r\n Now.)

There are at least two ways of handling this.

First you could do two asserts. One that the inner text contains Login and the other that it contains Now. But this would pass the strings Now Login also You must Login Now and that could be wrong.

Another approach is to read the inner text value, remove any leading and training spaces, convert any intervening white space to a single space, then finally do the assert. If the original assert is something like

Assert.Equals(innerText, "Login Now");

then you could replace it with something like:

Assert.Equals(Regex.Replace(innerText.Trim(), "\\s+", " "), "Login Now");
