I am trying to add a validation point in my Test Script using the Content of File Document.

So,for making sure the file has opened successfully, I want to check the content of the file against the base initial Text

There's an extension for TestComplete to compare Word files; you can download it here:

http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/17635/

Copy this extension to <TestComplete>\Bin\Extensions\ScriptExtensions, and then you can use this code:

WordDocs.Compare(file1path, file2path, 1);

For details and parameters, see this article: Compare Word files.

If you need just to read a Word file (and not compare 2 files), you can use the Word COM object, Word.Application. Here's an example:

// JScript

// Open a file in Word
var oWord = Sys.OleObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible = true;
var oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open("C:\\Test.doc");

// Read the paragraphs one by one, and post them to the log
for (var i = 1; i <= oDoc.Paragraphs.Count; i++)
{
  Log.Message(oDoc.Paragraphs.Item(i).Range.Text);
}
oDoc.Close();

Hi,

Please Activate MSAA and Text Recognition in Project Properties Then Try with object spy it may work

Thanks
