How to Download a file using VbScript

Following is the code to download a file using Vbscript, without using QTP
This code uses the HTMLDom and URLDownloadToFile method from urlmon API.
Since VBScript does support calling Native API methods directly, here I am using Excel macro to declare a function for the urlmon API and running the macro by Excel API from VBscript
Step1: Create a new excel and open the visual basic editor, Insert Module and paste the following code the Module, save the excel file
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib “urlmon” Alias _
                                           “URLDownloadToFileA” ( _
                                           ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, _
                                           ByVal szFileName As String, _
                                           ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
                                           ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
Sub FileSave(strUrl, Des)
    r = URLDownloadToFile(0, strUrl, Des, 0, a)

End Sub
Step2: Create a VBS and copy the below code and change the file paths
Set ie = CreateObject(“InternetExplorer.Application”)
ie.navigate “www.google.com“
ie.Visible = True
WScript.Sleep 3000
ie.document.all.q.Value = “Testing + doc”
ie.document.all.btnG.Click
WScript.Sleep 1000
Set obj = ie.document.getElementsByTagName(“A”)
For i = 0 To obj.Length
   If obj(i).innerText = “Testing Document” Then
      hr = obj(i).href
      Exit For
   End If
Next
arrhr = Split(hr, “/”)
fname = arrhr(UBound(arrhr))
If hr <> “” Then
    strUrl = hr
    Des = “C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\” & fname
   Set objXL = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
    With objXL.Application
        .Visible = False
        ‘Open the Workbook
        .Workbooks.Open “C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Download.xls”
        ‘Include CARMA in menu, run AutoOpen
        objXL.Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        x = .Run(“FileSave”, strUrl, Des)
    End With
    Set objXL = Nothing
MsgBox “Download Completed , the location of the saved file is->” & Des
End If
Set ie = Nothing

PDF Automation in QTP

The most challenging issue with PDFs is that it could be of any kind, not just a tabular data; it could have plain text, images or even forms to fill up.

There are lots of queries coming at QTP forums asking for an easy way of doing it with PDFs. keeping those in my mind I started c...

compare Two Text files using Vb Script

Public Function CompareFiles (FilePath1, FilePath2) Dim FS, File1, File2 Set FS = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”) If FS.GetFile(FilePath1).Size <> FS.GetFile(FilePath2).Size Then CompareFiles = True Exit Function End If Set File1 = FS.GetFile(FilePath1).OpenAsTextStream(1, 0) Set File2 = FS.GetFile(FilePath2).OpenAsTextStream(1, 0) CompareFiles = False Do While File1.AtEndOfStream = False Str1 = File1.Read(1000) Str2 = File2.Read(1000) CompareFiles = StrComp(Str1, Str2, 0) If CompareFiles <> 0 Then CompareFiles = True Exit Do End If Loop File1.Close() File2.Close() End Function Return value: The function returns 0 or False if the two files are identical, otherwise True.
