Re: JS Evaluate - Load JS script from File - encoding issue?

Furthermore, I duplicated the demo task "JS Evaluate demo" (https://robotask.com/tasks/Demo/%5BDEMO%5D%20JS%20Evaluate%20demo.tsk). I changed it by copying the JS code in the "Use Internal Script" to an external js file. Then I changed from "Use Internal Script" to &quo...

Hi Oleg, We are trying to use the functionality to load a js file in a JS Evaluate action. So far we haven't been successful. We are already using the JS Evaluate action today, either using a simple js statement directly in the field "Expression to evaluate" or adding a script with "U...

Add option in Action TXT Number of Lines to select EoL char

Hi Oleg, We came across a change request today where we unfortunately had to stop using the handy action "TXT Number of Lines" - because now we need to count only the EoL chars CR+LF (\r\n). Basically you can have a csv file opened in Excel and see only one record, but if you open it in no...

Unlock files

Hi, It would be great to have an action to unlock files. I have found that there is a small program ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/handle ) that allows to do this programmatically, so probably I will try with a script. But of course it would very convenient if RoboTask wou...

Re: Passing declared local variables as input parameters

Thanks for the reply. I understand the principle. But I have to say that it is not ideal. In other scripting languages, tools, etc it is common to have default values for parameters, which are overriden when this parameters are passed (if they are not passed, then they take the default values).
