FileManager

Top Previous Next

The FileManager object allows importing and exporting of data via files.Multiple files can be opened at the same time.


OpenRead		opens a file for reading
OpenWrite		opens a file for writing
Close		closes the file
WriteLine		writes a string to the file appending a new line character
WriteString		writes a string to the file without a new line character
ReadLine		reads a line from a file into a string variable
EndOfFile		returns TRUE if the end of the file is reached

See string functions GetNumberField and GetStringField for use in parsing the input from files.

NOTE: If you are opening multiple files be sure to save the File Numbers into BPV Integer Variables for future use. If you save into a temp local variable then it will be lost. Normally one would open the files in the Before Test script and close in the After test script. The BPV Integer File Number variables can then be used to read and write from the various files at the same time. When using the OpenAppend the file can be closed and opened multiple times during the test, since the writing will always be appended to the end of the file.
