File monitor - pass as parameters

[Weldzar]

Hi,
I'm trying the trigger File monitor to start my task but I don't understand how to use the "Pass as parameters": it can be used to write in a variable ( in the field "Parameter name") the name of the new file monitored? If not, what is the function of "Pass as parameters"?

I could try to take the name file by using the action search file, but I could risk to take more than one file I think..

Thank you for tour support

File monitor trigger can pass the lists of files as parameters.
You can use these parameters in the task as variables. In fact these parameters are local variables in the task.

See this example, please:

Code: Select all

Save the text of the task into a file and use menu Task->Import in order to import into RoboTask

Hi Oleg, thank you for your support.
I managed to use the file name as variable, however I'm trying to use it in a "Browse file" mask of a site ( that use java or similar code so that I had to exclude the use of Fill form action) but, when I click on open windows warns me that che name path is not valid. The strange thing is that if I write again by myself( or copy it by the properties of the file), the path is considered valid.
Maybe the name is encoded in some way?

Do you have an advice to get over this problem? Maybe another action I could use.
I attach an image that could help to understand better.

Thank you and have a good day!

Maybe your variable contain invisible symbols at the end (space-bar, end-of-line, etc).
Try to use STR Trim action before use this string

Unfortunately I can't say more because I don't see your task and your system environment.
