How to use/copy python output.

[DrinStony]

I run a script that outputs a two digits number.
How do I use that number in my next actions?
Copy/paste? Or something else?
Tnx

You do not need use python STDOUT
You should export necessary values to RoboTask variable
Look at my small example (see below). The script calculates something and export the value
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.
Read here about RoboTask object for Python

Code: Select all
