Search for Files - Create File List save empty variable

[gabageno]

Hi, I'm trying to read the list of files in a folder and then do actions for each filename.
I use the "Search for files" action. I give them the path and wildcard to filter files. Set "Save the File list to Variable" option and add another action to show the variable content in a dialog. But when I run the task the dialog box is empty.
I've used others ways to try to know the content of the variable but always is empty.
If I use the option "Save the List to File" then the file is created with the correct content of the folder.
Why I can´t get this in a variable???

please help

maybe you are doing some wrong.
Look at my example below (only two steps). It works

Code: Select all

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