Working with Files I) Computer file System In computing, a file system (often also written as filesystem) is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. File systems may use a data storage device such as a hard disk or CD-ROM. II) Working with Drives and Folders a) Creating a Folder Option Explicit Dim objFSO, objFolder, strDirectory strDirectory = "D:\logs" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory) b) Deleting a Folder Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") oFSO.DeleteFolder("E:\FSO") c) Copying Folders Set oFSO=createobject("Scripting.Filesystemobject") oFSO.CopyFolder "E:\gcr6", "C:\jvr", True d) Checking weather the folder available or not, if not creating the folder Option Explicit Dim objFSO, objFolder, strDirectory strDirectory = "D:\logs" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FolderExists(strDirectory) Then Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory) msgbox strDirectory & " already created " else Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory) end if e) Returning a collection of Disk Drives Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set colDrives = oFSO.Drives For Each oDrive in colDrives MsgBox "Drive letter: " & oDrive.DriveLetter Next f) Getting available space on a Disk Drive Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oDrive = oFSO.GetDrive("C:") MsgBox "Available space: " & oDrive.AvailableSpace III) Working with Flat Files Creating a Flat File Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("E:\ScriptLog.txt") b) Checking weather the File is available or not, if not creating the File strDirectory="E:\" strFile="Scripting.txt" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FileExists(strDirectory & strFile) Then Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory) Else Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("E:\ScriptLog.txt") End if Reading Data character by character from a Flat File Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("E:\gcr.txt", 1) Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream strCharacters = objFile.Read(1) msgbox strCharacters Loop d) Deleting Data From a Flat File e) Comparing Flat Files f) Searching Particular Strings in a Flat File d) Reading Data line by line from a Flat File Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("E:\gcr.txt", 1) Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream strCharacters = objFile.Readline msgbox strCharacters Loop e) 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:\gcr.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 f) 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:\gcr.txt", 8, True) WriteStuff.WriteLine(Stuff) WriteStuff.Close SET WriteStuff = NOTHING SET myFSO = NOTHING g) Delete a text file Set objFSO=createobject("Scripting.filesystemobject") Set txtFilepath = objFSO.GetFile("E:\gcr.txt") txtFilepath.Delete() h) 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 i) Comparing two text files Dim f1, f2 f1="e:\gcr1.txt" f2="e:\gcr2.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 j) 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 IV) Working with Word Docs a) Create a word document and enter some data & save Dim objWD Set objWD = CreateObject("Word.Application") objWD.Documents.Add objWD.Selection.TypeText "This is some text." & Chr(13) & "This is some more text" objWD.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "e:\gcreddy.doc" objWD.Quit V) Working with Excel Sheets a) Create an excel sheet and enter a value into first cell Dim objexcel Set objExcel = createobject("Excel.application") objexcel.Visible = True objexcel.Workbooks.add objexcel.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Testing" objexcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs("f:\gcreddy1.xls") objexcel.Quit b) Compare two excel files Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") objExcel.Visible = True Set objWorkbook1= objExcel.Workbooks.Open("E:\gcr1.xls") Set objWorkbook2= objExcel.Workbooks.Open("E:\gcr2.xls") Set objWorksheet1= objWorkbook1.Worksheets(1) Set objWorksheet2= objWorkbook2.Worksheets(1) For Each cell In objWorksheet1.UsedRange If cell.Value <> objWorksheet2.Range(cell.Address).Value Then msgbox "value is different" Else msgbox "value is same" End If Next objWorkbook1.close objWorkbook2.close objExcel.quit set objExcel=nothing For QTP Scripts & Documents Visit: www.gcreddy.com 5 For Software Testing Documents visit: www.gcreddy.net
