Get Command Line Argument

[jlw16]

Hello,
I’m trying to use my vbs script to get a command line argument for a file which will need to be opened through QuickTestPro. Below are the commands I’m using:

Dim qt_file 'As String -> If I don’t comment out the As String, I get an “Expected end of statement” error – is this correct??
qt_file = Command -> This doesn’t appear to be correct – when I echo out qt_file it’s null
qtApp.Test.DataTable.Import qt_file ' Import data from an external file provided by command line -> This command should open the file in QTP that was provided at the command line. If I set qt_file to a shared drive file it works fine.

Can someone please help me w/ the correct syntax? The full program is below:

Is this code that you wrote yourself?

No, this was code provided by Quick Test Pro that I modified. I think I got it working though using:

qt_file = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
Wscript.Echo "File Path: " & qt_file

instead of the qt_file = Command line.

Thanks!
