Writing Binary Files
Can TestComplete write out binary files with vbscript, or using aqFile object?
I have an external program I wrote that writes files containing random bytes of any specified size and any file extension (eq: 100000 files 100 bytes each with a .bin extension). I need this in order to create test data used by our tested app.
I want to be able to get rid of this external dependency and do it solely in TC, but I know VBS Can't reliably write to binary files, and while aqFile documentation says you can open binary files, it doesn't look like it can create them.
Any pointers?
