need to read data from microsoft word based forms

[pvinay]

the application that we are trying to automate reads data from microsoft based word forms.

i have attached a sample form here. I found that QTP is not able to recognise the different fields on these forms and hence is unable to capture data.

can someone suggest a way so that QTP can recognise the fields that are given in the word document?

Hi

Do you want to read or retrieve each word in ms word document?

Please paste the code that you tried

We want to develop a script that would read data from an old form and populate it into a new form.
The boxes shown in the form are different fields and would contain diff. values. We basically wanna pick up those field-values and save them in a new form.
We haven't started off yet because QTP is unable to recognise the fields and so we are stuck at the very first step.

Hi vinay,

Try this script its for read the data from word.....................

Code:

set a=CreateObject("Word.Application")

set b=a.Documents.Open("c:\read2.doc")

p_count=b.Paragraphs.Count

msgbox p_count

for c=1 to p_count

str_range=b.Paragraphs(c).Range.Start

end_range=b.Paragraphs(c).Range.End

Set s_range=b.Range(str_range,end_range)

x_str=s_range.Text

if len(x_str)=1 then

msgbox "false"

else

msgbox x_str

end if

next

a.Quit

set a=nothing

set b=nothing
