constants in qtp

[elango87]

An external environment variable file can either be a xml file or an ini file.
I would suggest you to use ini as it is easy to maintain. If you want to use xml, read QTP help or google it.

Just create a text file with extension as ".ini". E.g.: "Environment.ini"

In the beginning of the file, add [Environment]

Following that, you can specify the variables and their values... it will look some thing like this...
---
[Environment]

Code:

mybrowser = "www.google.com"
Firstname = "diya"
Lastname = "lastname"

---

To use this file, you have to import it to your script.

Use Environment.Loadfromfile("Path of your environment file")
Eg:

Code:

Environment.Loadfromfile("C:\Environment.ini")

Now you can use it whenever you want.

For example, if you like to open google,

Code:

SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe", Environment.Value("mybrowser")

or
Value is the default property of environment, you can use

Code:

SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe", Environment("mybrowser")

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
