Trouble to use aqString.Find in a if condition

[slaugier]

Hello

I have a text file, I want to copy it to a new file.

I want to modify it by using aqString.Replace with some substrings found by aqString.Find.

But aqString.Find seems to find nothing.

At the end, I have the exact copy of my file.

Do you have any advice? 

count = 1;
while (foundFiles.HasNext())       
 {          
   aqFile.Create(fHTMLFile);         
   aFile=foundFiles.Next();            
            
   bFile = aqFile.OpenTextFile(aFile.Path, aqFile.faReadWrite, aqFile.ctUTF8);            
   bFile.Cursor = 0;            

 while(! bFile.IsEndOfFile()){             
 bLine = bFile.ReadLine();               

  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "data")) 
   {               
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"data", "data" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "idChart")) 
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"idChart", "idChart" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "chart"))  
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"chart", "chart" + count)                
   }                
  aqFile.WriteToTextFile(fHTMLFile, bLine, aqFile.ctUTF8);            
 }             
 bFile.Close();          
 count = count+1 ;         
}

Thank you !

aqString.Find returns an integer value (see https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqstring/find.html).  if statments need a boolean value to execute.  basically, you're saying if 2 then...  That doesn't exactly execute.

Basically, all your if clauses add != -1... like so.

  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "data") != -1) 
   {               
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"data", "data" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "idChart") != -1) 
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"idChart", "idChart" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "chart") != -1)  
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"chart", "chart" + count)                
   }

Thank you! It helped me a lot! 

And I had to correct this way to solve everything :

  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "data") != -1) 
   {               
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"data", "data" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "idChart") != -1) 
   {                
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"idChart", "idChart" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "chart") != -1)  
   {                
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"chart", "chart" + count)                
   }
