1) Creating a Flat File
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("E:\Gcreddy.txt")
2) Checking weather the File is available or not, if not creating the File
strDirectory="E:\"
strFile="Gcreddy.txt"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(strDirectory & strFile) Then
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
Else
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("E:\Gcreddy.txt")
End if
3) Reading Data character by character from a Flat File
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("E:\Gcreddy.txt", 1)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strCharacters = objFile.Read(1)
msgbox strCharacters
Loop
4) Reading Data line by line from a Flat File
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("E:\Gcreddy.txt", 1)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strCharacters = objFile.Readline
msgbox strCharacters
Loop
5) Reading data from a flat file and using in data driven testing
Dim fso,myfile
Set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set myfile= fso.opentextfile ("F:\Gcreddy.txt",1)
myfile.skipline
While myfile.atendofline <> True
x=myfile.readline
s=split (x, ",")
SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe","","C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\","open"
Dialog("Login").Activate
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set s(0)
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure s(1)
Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").Click
Window("Flight Reservation").Close
Wend
6) Writing data to a text file
Dim Stuff, myFSO, WriteStuff, dateStamp
dateStamp = Date()
Stuff = "I am Preparing this script: " &dateStamp
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WriteStuff = myFSO.OpenTextFile("e:\Gcreddy.txt", 8, True)
WriteStuff.WriteLine(Stuff)
WriteStuff.Close
SET WriteStuff = NOTHING
SET myFSO = NOTHING
7) Delete a text file
Set objFSO=createobject("Scripting.filesystemobject")
Set txtFilepath = objFSO.GetFile("E:\gcr.txt")
txtFilepath.Delete()
8) Checking weather the File is available or not, if available delete the File
strDirectory="E:\"
strFile="gcr.txt"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(strDirectory & strFile) Then
Set objFile = objFSO.Getfile(strDirectory & strFile)
objFile.delete ()
End if
9) Comparing two text files
Dim f1, f2
f1="e:\Gcreddy1.txt"
f2="e:\Gcreddy2.txt"
Public Function CompareFiles (FilePath1, FilePath2)
Dim FS, File1, File2
Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If FS.GetFile(FilePath1).Size <> FS.GetFile(FilePath2).Size Then
CompareFiles = True
Exit Function
End If
Set File1 = FS.GetFile(FilePath1).OpenAsTextStream(1, 0)
Set File2 = FS.GetFile(FilePath2).OpenAsTextStream(1, 0)
CompareFiles = False
Do While File1.AtEndOfStream = False
Str1 = File1.Read
Str2 = File2.Read
CompareFiles = StrComp(Str1, Str2, 0)
If CompareFiles <> 0 Then
CompareFiles = True
Exit Do
End If
Loop
File1.Close()
File2.Close()
End Function
Call Comparefiles(f1,f2)
If CompareFiles(f1, f2) = False Then
MsgBox "Files are identical."
Else
MsgBox "Files are different."
End If
10) Counting the number of times a word appears in a file
sFileName="E:\gcr.txt"
sString="gcreddy"
Const FOR_READING = 1
Dim oFso, oTxtFile, sReadTxt, oRegEx, oMatches
Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oTxtFile = oFso.OpenTextFile(sFileName, FOR_READING)
sReadTxt = oTxtFile.ReadAll
Set oRegEx = New RegExp
oRegEx.Pattern = sString
oRegEx.IgnoreCase = bIgnoreCase
oRegEx.Global = True
Set oMatches = oRegEx.Execute(sReadTxt)
MatchesFound = oMatches.Count
Set oTxtFile = Nothing : Set oFso = Nothing : Set oRegEx = Nothing
msgbox MatchesFound
11) Read a CSV File Using Database Techniques
On Error Resume Next
Const adOpenStatic = 3
Const adLockOptimistic = 3
Const adCmdText = &H0001
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRecordSet = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strPathtoTextFile = "C:\Databases\"
objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strPathtoTextFile & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited"""
objRecordset.Open "SELECT * FROM PhoneList.csv", _
objConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
Do Until objRecordset.EOF
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objRecordset.Fields.Item("Name")
Wscript.Echo "Department: " & _
objRecordset.Fields.Item("Department")
Wscript.Echo "Extension: " & objRecordset.Fields.Item("Extension")
objRecordset.MoveNext
Loop
12) Read a Text File into an Array
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _
("e:\gcreddy.txt", ForReading)
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
strNextLine = objTextFile.Readline
arrServiceList = Split(strNextLine , ",")
Wscript.Echo "Server name: " & arrServiceList(0)
For i = 1 to Ubound(arrServiceList)
Wscript.Echo "Service: " & arrServiceList(i)
Next
