I also used the code to ignore the date timestamps but still it fails. If the date timestamp is same,the comparison passes but even after using this code,it fails.


function CompareFiles(fileName1, fileName2)


 CompareFiles(fileName1, fileName2)

{


var fso, file1, file2, regEx;


var fileText1, fileText2, newText1, newText2;


var ForReading = 1;


// Creates the FileSystemObject object


fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");


// Reads the first text file


file1 = fso.OpenTextFile(fileName1, ForReading);


fileText1 = file1.ReadAll();


file1.Close();


// Reads the second text file


file2 = fso.OpenTextFile(fileName2, ForReading);


fileText2 = file2.ReadAll();


file2.Close();


// Specifies the regular expression pattern for the date/time mask


 The date is in this format  4/15/2010 2:09 PM


regEx = /\d{1,2}.\d{1,2}.\d{2,4}\s\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}\s\w{2}/gim;


// Replaces the text matching the specified date/time format with <ignore>


newText1 = fileText1.replace(regEx, "<ignore>");


newText2 = fileText2.replace(regEx, "<ignore>");


// Compares the text


return (newText1 == newText2);


}




function Main()



{


var fileName1 = 'C:\\Bun211' + r2wdate + 'T000000.PDF';


var fileName2 = "C:\\Users\\sarya\\Documents\\TestComplete 7 Projects\\ClientRegression\\Bundler\\Stores\\Files\\Bun211.PDF";


if (CompareFiles(fileName1, fileName2))


Log.Message("The files are equal");


else

 



Log.Error("The files are different");


}
