is it possible to set the value of a variable read from a file?

do I have to write a new value back into the file in order to change the value of a variable read from a file?

Hello Phil,

Yes, it is possible to set the value of a variable read from a file (say $GlobalVar$). Using 'Log To File' command, you can update value of $GlobalVar$. You can use this variable value in any number of tasks or sub tasks. The value of $GlobalVar$ will not change until you update the text file.

Text format of 'Log to File' command would appear something like this,

Log to File: GlobalVar=ValuetobeAssigned in "C:\textfile.txt"

Hope that helps.
