Working with Files using FSO
FSO:
Filesystemobject is an object model which is used to handle the drives, folders, and files of a system or server.
♦ If an user needs to work on Driver, Folder, Files properties,methods or events then the first step he need to setup is
filesystemobject
♦ File system object is an interface between QTP and the local system. using FSO we can create/delete folder,create/delete/read
from/write to text files
♦ The FileSystemObject (FSO) object model allows you to use the familiar object.method syntax with a rich set of properties,
methods, and events to process folders and files
Object/Collection Description:
FileSystemObject:
File system object is a Main object. Contains methods and properties that allow you to create, delete, gain information about, and generally manipulate drives, folders, and files. Many of the methods associated with this object duplicate those in other FSO objects; they are provided for convenience.
Drive:
Drive is a Object. Contains methods and properties that allow you to gather information about a drive attached to the system, such as its share name and how much room is available. Note that a "drive" isn't necessarily a hard disk, but can be a CD-ROM drive, a RAM disk, and so forth. A drive doesn't need to be physically attached to the system; it can be also be logically connected through a network.
Drives:
Drives are Collection. Provides a list of the drives attached to the system, either physically or logically. The Drives collection includes all drives, regardless of type. Removable-media drives need not have media inserted for them to appear in this collection.
File:
File is a Object. Contains methods and properties that allow you to create, delete, or move a file. Also allows you to query the system for a file name, path, and various other properties.
Files:
Files are Collection. Provides a list of all files contained within a folder.
Folder:
Folder is a Object. Contains methods and properties that allow you to create, delete, or move folders. Also allows you to query the system for folder names, paths, and various other properties.
Folders:
Folders are Collection. Provides a list of all the folders within a Folder.
TextStream:
TextStream is a Object. Allows you to read and write text files.

⇒Creating a FileSystemObject Object:
First, create a FileSystemObject object by using the CreateObject method.
The following code displays how to create an instance of the FileSystemObject:
First, create a FileSystemObject object by using the CreateObject method.
The following code displays how to create an instance of the FileSystemObject:
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Using the Appropriate Method
Second, use the appropriate method of the FileSystemObject object. For example, to create a new object, use either CreateTextFile
⇒Method: CreateTextFile
Description: Creates a specified file name and returns a TextStream object that can be used to read from or write to the file
Syntax: Set objfile = fso.CreateTextFile(filename[, overwrite[, Unicode]])
Arguments:
Description: Creates a specified file name and returns a TextStream object that can be used to read from or write to the file
Syntax: Set objfile = fso.CreateTextFile(filename[, overwrite[, Unicode]])
Arguments:
| fso: | (Required) The name of a FileSystemObject object previously instantiated |
| filename: | (Required) A string expression that identifies the file to create |
| overwrite: | (Optional) Boolean value that indicates whether you can overwrite an existing file. The value is True if the file can be overwritten, False if it can't be overwritten. If omitted, existing files are not overwritten (default False). |
| unicode: | (Optional) Boolean value that indicates whether the file is created as a Unicode or ASCII file. If the value is True, the file is created as a Unicode file. If the value is False, the file is created as an ASCII file. If omitted, an ASCII file is assumed. |
