VBScript open all files with same extension in a folder












0














I am new to VBScript and I am stuck with the below problem.



I have a folder with some files with the .qvw extension and I want to open all these files and then close them.



I am not able to find any solution which will do this task.



sFolder = "C:test"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For Each oFile In oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder).Files
If LCase(oFSO.GetExtensionName(oFile.Name)) = "QVW" Then
Set App = CreateObject("QlikTech.QlikView")
Set newdoc = App.opendoc
newdoc.Activate
newdoc.save
newdoc.closedoc
End if
Next​

    App.opendoc probably wants a filename argument? How else would it know what file to open? Set newdoc = App.opendoc(oFile.Name)

    You need to look at the documentation for the API you're using. I don't know the QlikView object model.
