    Hi Mrunal,



    So, as per Ashok's reply, what is the actual problem? What does not work for you? Can you get the contents of the file? Can you assign it to the project variable? Any problems with the further comparison?

    Note: direct comparison like "(ProjectSuite.Variables.var name == "abc")" may fail if the data read from the file contain characters like carriage return/line feed/etc. These characters must be removed (for example, with the help of the Trim() function) before comparison.

Hi Mrunal,



problem description is not clear. Can you be more descriptive please.



However by the details i can understrand that you are able to read the contents of a textfile but not able to assign them to a project variable.



1. If you are not able to read the text file these should help you.

2. If test file is read into a variable then you can assign them as below



ex:

var sTextFileContent = aqFile.ReadWholeTextFile("C:\1.txt", aqFile.ctANSI);

Project.Variables.AddVariable("MyFileContents", eval(sTextFileContent));



Hope this helps
