RoboTask forum

How does one work with local variables in an internal python/js script.

In my own tests it leads to a syntax error.

One workaround was passing them as a prefix e.g.

rt.start_task("PREFIXVAR", "PREFIX="+str(row))

How would you do it?

start_task(ext_name, params = '')
Method.
Start task by number or External Name.
Parameters

• ext_name - task number or external name
• params - parameters of the task to be launched. Empty string by default. Parameters can be set as text, one parameter per line :
  parameter_name=parameter_value

External name is alternative ID of the task. You can set it in "Advanced" tab of task editor
