Read text in TXT and store in Variable

Hi there,

I have a script here that everytime before I run it, I have to manually type a purchase ID to store in a variable and click on Play to run the script. The problem is that there are days, that I have more than 100 Ids to type there and run, and it's a little tiring sometimes. Here's the script that I use:



My question is: is there a way to write all the code Ids I need in a TXT file, one per line, and execute a command that: reads the line, store the text in this variable, execute all the rest, and then on the next iteration, it reads the second line to get the new code, store it again on the variable and execute the script again? I would put it in a WHILE loop to execute this scripts as many times as it should.

The TXT file would look like this:



Thanks!

hello, i have not tried parameterization in selenium ide thatswhy i m not sure about ide, but it is possible in selenium rc... In that we can make a excel file and we are not bothered to use while command we just have to give the purchase id it ll automatically take the purchase id again.....if u need help about rc then i can try to help u out in this scenario

It is possible in IDE.

You need to use parametrization.
