How to read text file using UFT

We access the text file in UFT by using the filesystemobject. The UFT will read all the data line by line. Below is the sample code which can be used to read any text file.

Set FileSysObj=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Const ForReading = 1
Set txtFile = FileSysObj.OpenTextFile("<textfile>", ForReading, True)


Do Until inputFile.AtEndOfStream 
 msgbox inputFile.ReadLine
 msgbox inputFile.Line
Loop

inputFile.close

You can use any conditional statement in the code which can be used to extract the required data from the text file.

UFT - Resolving scrolling issue if object is not visible

There are many times when an object gets the place changed based on the list getting longer on the same webpage, which creates the need to scroll down on the webpage for any automation script to perform any action on the object. Many times we try to resolve this issue using the below code. Set objShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.SendKeys "{PGDN}" But if the place is dynamic and the lists above that object gets bigger then it requires more page down which will be never ending story and requires maintenance every time. So to resolve this issue we can use the below code which will take the pointer focus to the object. Browser("<object properties>").Page("<object properties>").Webbutton("name:=Next").Object.Focus After this you can perform any action on the object.

how to access the excel file as database in UFT?

We mostly use the excel file in UFT by using the excel object but it can also be accessed as a database and you can run the queries on different excel sheets as the database tables. You can use the ADODB connection to use the excel as database. Below is the code snippet to use excel as a database. Set  Conn =  CreateObject ( "ADODB.Connection" ) Set  RecSet=  CreateObject ( "ADODB.RecordSet" ) Conn.Open  "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="  & ExcelFilePath&  ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1"";" If you want to access the .xlsx file then please change "Excel 8.0" to "Excel 12.0".

But here you need to provide the excel sheet name as database tables.  Query =  "Select * From ["  & sheetName &  ...
