RoboTask forum

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to create a task
that let you choose between tasks you have created
earlier, maybe even choose more than one. I hope you
understand what I mean.

Rasmus Bertelsen

It's possible.

You may create the task with the following algorithm:

Input box // Input the number and save into NUM variable
if {NUM} = 1 then
   stert task task1
end if
if {NUM} = 2 then
   stert task task2
end if
if {NUM} = 3 then
   stert task task3
end if
... etc.

Should the: "if {NUM} = etc." statements be in the
variable you create, in the if then dialogue? I can't
seem to make it work.

Regards,
Rasmus Bertelsen

Save the text of the task into file and use menu "Task | Import" in order to import into RoboTask

Cool! Thank you very much for that. I suppose the FOLDER
strings in the Action section should be my task names,
or the names of them with the .tsk extension?
