Description

The aqFile object allows you to manage files as well as read from and write to text and binary files. This object complements the aqFileSystem object, but unlike the latter it lets you deal with files only.

The object is available in TestComplete by default.

JavaScript, JScript

function CreatingAndWritingToTextFile()
{
// Create a text file DemoFile.txt
if (aqFile.Create("C:\\MyFiles\\DemoFile.txt") == 0)
{
  // If the file has been created successfully, write a string to it
  aqFile.WriteToTextFile("C:\\MyFiles\\DemoFile.txt", "Hello!", aqFile.ctUTF8);
  Log.Message("The file is created and the specified text is written to it successfully.");
}
else
{
  Log.Error("The file was not created.");
}
}

Python

def CreatingAndWritingToTextFile():
  # Create a text file DemoFile.txt
  if aqFile.Create("C:\\MyFiles\\DemoFile.txt") == 0:
    # If the file has been created successfully, write a string to it
    aqFile.WriteToTextFile("C:\\MyFiles\\DemoFile.txt", "Hello!", aqFile.ctUTF8)
    Log.Message("The file is created and the specified text is written to it successfully.")
  else:
    Log.Error("The file was not created.")
