Can any one help me to read the data from the notepad using robotframework.?

Thanks In

You could try using the autoit library to select all the text, copy it to the clipboard, then use the Clip Get command to get the text. My team has successfully done this with outlook, I'm guessing the same technique might work with notepad.

just wondering if you tried using simplest solution like:

OperatingSystem.Get File or maybe

OperatingSystem.Grep File

[Ss Raghavan]

Any specific purpose why you wanted to read something from open notepad, when you can do fille read operations which is quite simpler and easier. Is there any specifici thing that you are doing?

Hi Raghavan,

Thanks for the reply Raghav. I want to use it for ETl testing.Will be getting data in the form of notepad as a flat file i want to read that file and execute in the DB.

Regards,

Sakthy

If you've got a flat file there's no reason to read it from notepad. Just use the "Get File" keyword from the operating system  library. http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/OperatingSystem.html#Get%20File

Ugh

This is a topic it's own but generally speaking yes it is possible.

There are at least three database libraries available, that I know of and have used and many more that I have not used [1]. There is also libraries for for excel files [2], but those I have not used.
