Right now i have to write a vbscript for comparing two files and generate the report.

here i got confuse the logic....I have Folder A and Folder B.Folder A has 10 files and Folder B has 10 files the file names are different so basically i need to check Against Folder B files in to Folder A files.The files are EDI formats.

Could you please help me in that...

Thanks
Ashok

Status: offline 		First of all i would like to thanks for your reply.

I am not sure i explained the scenario correctly or not...but here is the one i will explain little bit more about that.

I have folder A in for ex: C:\271TestFile_folderA

It has 10 files for example : 271_T_2006-12-05T11-22-17_2tmpF513.txt like that

here is the content of that file for 271_T_2006-12-05T11-22-17_2tmpF513.txt

BR005415*20060801*1457~HL*1**20*1~NM1*2B*1*XYZ*****FI*526002033~HL*2*1*21*1~NM1*1P*2*TEST00001*****SV*774800100~HL*3*2*22*0~TRN*2*BR05_FACILITY_Numeric*9526002033~TRN*1*063393337783*0526002033~NM1*IL*1*TESST*TESTE*A***MI*46803327600

like wise i have 10 different files each files have different value in the TRN segment (Highlited in Red)...like wise i have files in Floder B also

Ex:  C:\271TestFile_folderB

File : 271_T_2006-12-05T11-45-38_3tmp9ED2.txt

Basically what i suppose to do

1) Read the file in the folderA and find it out the Highligted Value in RED(*BR05_FACILITY_Numeric*) and check the same value in folder B file.
Example : 271_T_2006-12-05T11-22-17_2tmpF513.txt file in Folder A has that value and 271_T_2006-12-05T11-45-38_3tmp9ED2.txt file in folder B also have the same value then compare both files line by line and generate the report.


hope i explained the scenario clearly...


Thanks in Advance

Ashok
