Files.Compare returns exception

[sarya]

Hi,



I am trying to comapre two pdf documents. I used this in my script  but when I run this code,it gives me an exception as " 'Files' is undefined" .Is this not the correct way to comapre files?

Files.Compare("C:\\myfiles\\Bun26.PDF",'C:\\Bun26' + r2wdate + 'T000000.PDF');



Thanks.

.Compare("C:\\myfiles\\Bun26.PDF",'C:\\Bun26' + r2wdate + 'T000000.PDF');Thanks.Sumedha

That is the correct syntax, assuming, though, that you a) the Stores object added to your project and that b) you have the Files object added to the Stores.  See the screenshot attached.

Thanks Robert .I was using it without adding the "files" object in the Stores. It is working fine now.

Hey Robert,



I have one more doubt. I compared two files ,both look to be same but somehow the file comparison from test complete gives me error  with some hash value.



The files "C:\tcfiles\bundler\Bun29.PDF" and "C:\Bun292010-04-15T000000.PDF" are not equal. HashValue = 36820037. 



So can we not come to know particularly where the comparison failed in whole report ?



Thanks,

Sumedha

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");

}



Thanks,

Hi Sumedha,





Please send us the target PDF files. We'll try to create a sample script for you.
