Perform iteration as per the number of files available in a folder

[rohit330]

Hi All,

I am a newbie in QTP. I am trying to automate some part of my test.

Please have a look on the following code.

Code:

Function readTextFromFile(pathToFile)
Set fso = createObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(pathToFile) = True Then
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(pathToFile, 1)
readTextFromFile = f.ReadAll
f.Close
End If
End Function
text = readTextFromFile("Path of file")
Set clipboard = createobject("mercury.clipboard") //Thanks to inborntester
clipboard.Clear
clipboard.SetText(text)
SwfWindow("MyApplication").SwfEditor("xmlTextBox").Type micCtrlDwn + "v" + micCtrlUp

In the above code, am reading a file and writing this to a variable "text".
Then copying this to my application text area and submits.
Similarly i want to read other files from this folder util the last file.
Like this i have five folders. If i select option 1 in my application i have to read files from 1st folder, after that i have to select option 2 in my application and then folder has to changed to 2nd folder. Will i be able to include all these 5 otpions within a program or i have to write 5 different pgm.

Do i have to use vb script or any QTP logic is there to iterate. I have aware of some terminologies like parameterization.

Your time and advices are much appreciated. Thanks in advance all..

If am posting in the wrong thread, kindly pardon.
