Please help me understand how to skip a task if a job variable is greater than 500.
1. Read File task from file counter.txt
2. Set Job Variable task Variable MyCount to {TASK(PrevTask,StdOut)} - I assume this is now an integer since I checked the box "Translate value to constant in Variable when running"
3. if Job Variable MyCount is > 500 go to task "X"

You should be able to do that in the Task Flow "On Complete", look at your variable with "{USERVAR(MyCount)}", set your counter threshold, then in the Go To Task, pick the task you want
