How to use the Robotask?

[lustrous]

Hi, I'm a newbie.
My question is how can I use the Robotask variable at VBScript and give a result back to Robotask with a new Variable?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, of course, this is possible
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.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.

Code: Select all
