Extending upon one of previous posts on QTP and File handling, I would quickly tell you how to handle folders with QTP.
For all the examples shown below I will assume that the file to be created/deleted is at C: drive.
How to create a folder with QTP?
Dim strDrive, strfoldername,objFSO, objFolder, strPath strDrive = "c:" 'Drive where you want to create the folder strfoldername="test" 'Name of the folder to be created strPath= strDrive&strfoldername ' Create FileSystemObject. We have already seen this in the earlier post. Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") On Error Resume Next ' Incase folder already exist ' Create a Folder, using strPath Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strPath) If err.Number = 58 then 'VB Script Run Time Error 58 -File Already exists msgbox "Folder already exist at" & strPath exitTest End If msgbox "Folder created is at " & strPath
How to delete a folder?
Take the first 6 lines from the code above and add these lines
On Error Resume Next 'Incase folder is not found objFSO.DeleteFolder(strPath) If err.Number =76 then 'VB Script Run Time Error 76 -File Not Found msgbox "Folder Not Found at " & strPath exitTest End If msgbox "Folder is deleted from " & strPath
How to find out if a folder exists on a drive?
Instead of using the err object as shown above, you can simply use .FolderExists()
If objFSO.FolderExists(strpath)= “True” then msgbox “Folder Already Exists” End If
to open afolder u use systemutil.run and the path of the folder

hi Ankur,
thank you very much for your script.
but, can you also give me the script for opening a folder
not creating a folder.
An attempt to combine the scripts “checking” and “creating” the folders:
Dim objFSO, objFolder, strPath
strPath= “D:\Mahesh”
‘ Create FileSystemObject. We have already seen this in the earlier post.
Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
If objFSO.FolderExists(strpath)= “True”then
msgbox “Folder already exist at : ” & strPath
ELSE
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strPath)
msgbox “Folder is created at : ” & strPath
end if
