I am having difficulties attempting to script running a report, then downloading the report from the test site in order to veridy a set of values is on the file. Does anyone have a best practice or an example they wouldnt mind sharing? The file can be of any real format, txt, csv, excel, etc... But im sure once I can do it with one, the others would not be too terrible.

Hi WillClarke, The following article contains an example of how you can download a file from the Internet: https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/8999/ As the formats of the file are different, you will need to create (or use existing) different approaches to read the files as there is no one common way. Just review the following articles demonstrating how you can work with txt, xml and excel file from TestComplete: Working With Microsoft Excel Files Working With XML Files From Scripts Reading Text Files The pseudocode will look like: //download the file //check its format and read switch (<File_Format>){ case "xml": // read an xml file case "txt": // read a txt file .... }
