input from text file to array
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2007 8:37 am
Hi I am new to RoboTask and have had a little difficulty with the software, i am sure that it will become easier as I go along but mean while I am hoping someone may have some help for me.
My problem is that I am trying to use Robotask to automate ftp-ing of files between different sites. I am creating multiple text files with login and ftp info (see sample 1). I am using the "File Loop" command to process the site info. Then I am using the "Text Loop" comand to try to read to file into an array called PROFILE. Line one is the ip that I would like in variable PROFILE(0),Line two is the username that I would like in variable PROFILE(1),Line three is the password that I would like in variable PROFILE(2),Line four is the remote directory that I would like in variable PROFILE(3),Line five is the local directory that I would like in variable PROFILE(4),Line six is the archive directory that I would like in variable PROFILE(5). So in the set up for "Test Loop" under the "Store Current Line to Variable:" field I have entered "PROFILE({COUNT})" and I am runing a counter variable called "COUNT". But it reads all the lines from the file into "PROFILE(0)" I have a variable PROFILE with value "" created at the begining of the action list.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how do I fix it.

Sample 1 - file name :profile1
10.10.10.1
user1
pass1
/root/usr/outbound
c:\usr\inbound
c:\arc\inbound
