Get log file name for task

Hi,Is there a way to get the name of the log file (C:\RoboTask\Logs\) that corresponds to the running task? Maybe at least make it one of the 'error task' parameters that are set.Someway I need to get the original log entry that was made in the original task log where the error originally occurred. Now I am getting 'general error'. And that is not descriptive enough.If I can get the name of the log file, I was going to parse it for the error descriptions that it inserted if an error occurs.Thank you.-David W.

The log of the task has the same name as the task file. The name of the task you can see at the title of the task editor. For example:
"Edit task (2347B8E3.tsk)"
This means that the log has the name "2347B8E3.log"

You can find log's and task's folders in the settings of RoboTask. Menu Options -> Setting. Also you can open these folders directly

Thank you for the information.Is there a built-in variable or way I can get this name (2347B8E3) while running a task?-David W.

There are not such variables as yet.
We'll add them in next release.

Believe it or not I just used this today. However, I see there has to be a decimal to hex conversion of the {TaskID} which can be a challenge in RT as I see it. It would be nice to have this hex value of the {TaskID} already in a variable for direct use of reading the log file.-David W.
