So first of all, is there a way to add value to a variable instead of replacing it? Lets say I have "game" variable and it contains 1.exe and 2.exe as values, how do I add 3.exe without replacing those two values?
Also how does the custom input dialog work? I am trying to do the above using it but if I input any value it just replaces the value to "{". Surely I am doing something wrong here.
Lastly will "wait for process" trigger work correctly if I put variable such as "game" which contains more than 1 value?
I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
Re: I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
Look at my example below. Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.Lets say I have "game" variable and it contains 1.exe and 2.exe as values, how do I add 3.exe without replacing those two values?
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.
Code: Select all

Re: I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
Wait for process is an action. Maybe you mean Process watcher trigger?Lastly will "wait for process" trigger work correctly if I put variable such as "game" which contains more than 1 value?
The trigger can monitor only one process. If you variable contain many values the trigger will not work.
If you want to monitor 3 different processes you must attach to the task three triggers Process watcher with different parameters.

Re: I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
I don't know how to multiquote in this forum so I'll just quote the last one, but I think I explained my situation poorly. What I mean is I want to create a dialog box to add a value to existing variable. For example variable game has game1.exe and game2.exe as values, I want to add game3.exe using a dialog box/input dialog. The 1st example does not do that.Oleg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 10:47 amWait for process is an action.

So that is the result of 2nd example?? How to assign/add values to a variable using it then? Not possible I guess? Adding any value using custom input dialog will only end up with { to a variable because it starts with {. I was thinking of using custom input dialog to add multiple game process name to a variable.
Yes I meant process watcher. Well this is a bummer because I want to watch processes that I assign to game variable. That means wait for process action does not support multiple values too I assume?
Re: I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
This is possible. Look at the screenshot below and 1-st example (step #3). I don't think you saw it... "Expand value" option means that the action calculates result before assigning. In this case you can use this variable in expression.How to assign/add values to a variable using it then? Not possible I guess?

Re: I need help regarding adding a value to a variable.
I think you misunderstood, I want a text box to appear (meaning I assign the value inside the texbox, not assigning it in the task steps) so I can input the value once i run the task, not when i set up the task.Oleg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 12:30 pmThis is possible.
