Storing and comparing variables

Post by crisp212 »

Good night Oleg.

One question: I got this task that checks a website every 1 hour (Makes a f5 and then makes a ctrl+a and then ctrl+c). It stores all values of website (get text), copy its in a txt file (create txt file) and then stores line 51 where my interested value is (TXT Extract Line). The value is stored in variable named "true"

So what I want, is that every hour, after line 51 stored in variable "true", doesn't get overwritten by previous (so it creates first true1, true2, etc...)

Then, I want to be able to minus true1 and true2 and store it in another variable.

Can you help me? Thank you.

Regards,

Maybe you need something like this (see my example)
This task saves 4 previous values of variable. You have to use global variables (menu Options->Variables and open Global User Variables tab)
To get it work make four global variables VAR1, VAR2, VAR3 and VAR4 with some initial value (for example 0)

Code: Select all
