[scottlee]

Hi everyone.
My question is how can i put some variable to the file?
I made user information screen and get some value like %EditBox1%.
Now i want set %EditBox1% into myconfig.properties file.
How can i automatically set the value into the file?
thanks in advance.

If myconfic.properties is a text file then you could just use one of our built in Text file actions to add the value of that variable to the file.

If myconfig.properties is not a text file then an alternate way of adding that variable to the file would be in order.

Thank you adam.
myconfig.properties file is text file.

Suppose myconfig.properties file is that :
serverip=%EditBox1%
userid=%EditBox2%

And i want replace '%EditBox1%' to %EditBox1% value like (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
Can you show me some examples?
Thank you.

Re: how can i put custom variables to the file ?

From your post, it sounds like your "myconfig.properties" is an INI file. In that case you could use a "Modify INI File" action with the "Set Value" option. For that action you would populate the "Value name: field with serverip and enter "Value data" as %EditBox1%. The same procedure would be used for the second one.

If the file is not an INI file, you would need to use a series of Text File actions such as the "Find Text Line", "Get Text Line" and "Insert Text Line". So you would find it, read it into a variable, perform some string manipulate to acheive the desired text and then write it back to the text file.

Hope that helps.

Just and FYI:

It is also necessarey to assign a variable name and the key name below that. I have included and example:

**************example INI file*****************
[Common]
MyVar1=Some Variable Attribute
MyVar2=Some Other Varialbe Attribute
**************example INI file*****************

Hope that helps someone out there...
