Example

The code below searches for all TXT files in the C:\MyFiles folder and posts their names to the test log.

JavaScript

function FilesFinderExample()
{
  // Specifies the path to the desired folder
  let sPath = "C:\\MyFiles";

  // Obtains information about the folder
  let colFiles = aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo(sPath).Files;

  // Checks whether the folder stores any files
  if (!strictEqual(colFiles, null))
  {
    // Iterates through the collection of files stored in the folder
    while (colFiles.HasNext())
    {
      // Obtains a file stored in the folder
      let FileItem = colFiles.Next();

      // Obtains the file's extension and checks whether the extension is txt
      FileExt = aqFileSystem.GetFileExtension(FileItem.Path);
      if (equal(FileExt, "txt"))
        // Posts the file name to the test log
        Log.Message(FileItem.Name);
    }
  }

  else
    Log.Message("The " + sPath + " folder does not store any files");

}

      FileExt = aqFileSystem.GetFileExtension(FileItem.Path)
      if (FileExt == "txt")
        // Posts the file name to the test log
