In the expert view it will write this code:
Browser("India current local time").Page("India current local time").Check CheckPoint("India current local time from WorldTimeServer.com")
In the global data sheet it will add a new column heading "India_current_local_timeChecked_Text" and will add in the first row- the current time. Now in place of this current time enter this (1[012]|[1-9]):[0-5][0-9] (am|pm) and save it.
Run the test. It should work fine.
