Hi

How to compare two text files using qtp.

Hi Sekhar,

Check out the below code. It will compare both the text files and isolate the differences found in the file1 which are not present in file 2 in a seperate ouput file.

To make it simpler , consider 2 text files - text1 and text2. This code would compare both the files and would log difference rows present in text 2 in a seperate file called as output.txt.

This is a vbscript code. So create a .vbs file and include it as a library function in your action.

code.

dim found.
set objfso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject").
set objinputfile2 = objfso.opentextfile ("c:\text2.txt").
set objoutputfile = objfso.createtextfile("c:\output.txt").

do until objinputfile2.atendofstream
found = false.
strnextline2 = objinputfile2.readline.
set objinputfile1 = objfso.opentextfile ("c:\text1.txt").

do until objinputfile1.atendofstream
strnextline1 = objinputfile1.readline.

if (strnextline2 = strnextline1) then
found = true.
end if.
loop.

objinputfile1.close.

if (found = false) then
objoutputfile.writeline strnextline2.
end if.
loop.

objinputfile2.close.
objoutputfile.close.
set objinputfile1 = nothing.
set objinputfile2 = nothing.
set objoutputfile = nothing.


Let me know incase you face any difficulties with the code.

cheers....
