How can i write a script in QTP to poll a folder for a new file?

Hi,

The answer for you first question is Yes. We can verify whether a folder or a file exists using fso object

FolderExists Method:

Code:

Returns True if a specified folder exists; False if it does not.
   Dim fso, msg, fldr
   fldr = "C:\Windows"  
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   If (fso.FolderExists(fldr)) Then
      msg = fldr & " exists."
   Else
      msg = fldr & " doesn't exist."
   End If

FileExists Method:-

Code:

Returns True if a specified file exists; False if it does not.
The following example illustrates the use of the FileExists method.
   Dim fso, msg, filespec
   filespec = "C:\boot.ini"
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then
      msg = filespec & " exists."
   Else
      msg = filespec & " doesn't exist."
   End If
