Replacing the file

Hi,



I have two files. One has been placed in the C:\ and other one is in D:\



My requirement is for each automation the file placed in the C:\ has to be replaced by D:\



Is it possible to do so?



Thanks in advance



Regards,

Sujatha B

    Sujatha,


    You can use the aqFile.Copy method for this.

    Make sure that the last parameter is False. This will command the method to replace the file on C:\ --




    Call aqFile.Copy("D:\FileName.txt", "C:\FileName.txt", false)

    Hi Sujatha,



    File copying will eventually replace the content of the target file, wouldn't it?

    Alexei,

    This is what I wanted to answer too :-)


    Sujatha,

    If you need to replace only some part of a file, you need to load the files to memory, extract the needed data from one file, then insert it into another file and save. The way you do this depends on the file contents. If you post here some sample contents of your files, we could find a solution.
