Reading external files within ARIS script

Maggiu,

There is a method in ARIS API to read external files. I have used it before. Something in the line of getFile(xx). Have a look into the ARIS method.

Don't know the exact method name.

Hi.

One day I published code how to read text files and think this will lead to discussion.

But it looks like forum moderators like to talk to themselves and this thread was immediatelly closed for unknown reason. Looks like there is no much desire to spread information how to use ARIS scripts.

Just a reminder, how you can read files:

    var BATC_HFILE = "c:\\temp\\aris_test1.bat"

    Dialogs.MsgBox("Test for the external program execution.\nRunning batch file:\n" + BATC_HFILE, Constants.MSGBOX_BTN_OK, "ARIS V7 TEST");

   var process = Context.execute(BATC_HFILE);

   var inReader = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

    var sResult = "";

    var text;

    while((text = inReader.readLine()) != null)

    {

        sResult += text + "\n";

    }

    process.waitFor(); //ends when process terminates

   Dialogs.MsgBox("Test for the external program execution\n" + sResult, Constants.MSGBOX_BTN_OK, "ARIS V7 TEST");

Hello,

I realize this thread is old, but how can I use this to read a file from a network share like \\server\file.xls ?

Thank you,

Allen
