Get filename of file which triggered file monitor

Hello,
file monitor is working fine and the task starts immediately after a new file was copied into a folder.
My question:
How can I access the filename of the new file inside the task?
I tried this way but {L_TEST} is always empty inside the task:
- robo.gif (6.33 KiB) Viewed 15459 times
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

In your example I see that you pass only the list of
NEW files. Maybe the problem is here?
These parameters contains the list of files as text: one name per line

Thank you, Oleg.

No, this works fine.
The reason was:
I additionally declared these parameters as local variables, too.
No good idea...

You do not need to declare variables. It's enough to pass some parameters and you can use them as variables.
