Hi,

I'm trying to access(read) variable values (system variables not user defined variables) through the API, but can't figure out how.

eg. I wish to evaluate the output of a particular task:
{TASK(118fb6a7-441b-4b03-b09f-1ee9ac5f61fe,StdOut)}

This is something that can be done using the VisualCron client GUI, but I can't see how to do it using the API.

Regards,
Robin

We need to expose this better in next version. But here is how you do it:

using VisualCronAPI;

// replace s with your Server object
VariableReplacerClass vr = new VariableReplacerClass(s,null,null,string.Empty,null);
// SetVar returns the value
vr.SetVar("{TASK(118fb6a7-441b-4b03-b09f-1ee9ac5f61fe,StdOut)}");

Hi,

The VariableReplacerClass.SetVar method takes a second argument: bool bolReplaceEnter. What is the function of this argument, and should it be true or false for my use case?

Thanks,
Robin

Default is false. The purpose is just to keep or remove new lines.

Thanks, this has sorted me out.
