Text File Check

Post by Matt Wardle »

Hi all,

We use HM 9.10. We have a test that is set up to check a text file for the word Error.

However, if the word Error is there or not, the Test comes back OK.

We have a very similar test set up that checks for abnormal and this works fine.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

What exactly test method do you use? Text Log? Compare Files?

Text Log test checks only new records added to file.
If you want to check entire file for some particular word, please use "Compare Files" test.
Quote from manual:

Unlike "Compare Files" test that warns you when any part of a file contains some specific string the Text Log test warns you only when the string is found in a NEW record.
