To add files to the Files collection from your script or keyword tests, call the Add method of the Files object.

For instance, the code below adds the OrderList.txt file to the project’s Files collection:

if not Files.Add("C:\\MyApplication\\OrdersList.txt", "OrdersList"):
  Log.Message(Files.LastError)

See the Files Object topic for more information on working with files from your scripts.

To call the Files.Add method from your keyword test, use the Call Object Method, Run Code Snippet or Run Script Routine operation.

When you add a file to the Files collection, TestComplete converts the name of the selected file to a name that is allowed in scripts. For example, the name 1.bat cannot be used in script code. This file name will be converted to the A_bat name, which is valid and can be used in your scripts.
