Write to File Action

Post by Vyza » 01 Mar 2013 02:36

Request that the File Settings support variables. Would like to create the file name using a variable within a script and use this variable as the file name to Write to File.

Set your variable-filename in {} and go on.

As an example, I use the following, /mnt/sdcard/Automagic/Mileage/{global_todayYearYYYY}, to save a file to a folder with the current year in its name.

global_todayYearYYYY holds 2013 right now.

The Write to File Action does not seem to support variables within the File setting - that's what I'm requesting.

If varFileName="Test.txt" and /mnt/sdcard/LOGS/{varFileName} is entered into the File setting, a file named {varFileName} instead of Test.txt is created in directory /mnt/sdcard/LOGS/.

Variable support for this field should be in the next update.
