RoboTask forum

Hi there,I want to use RT to start some additional programms, but not with the start of Windows. I want to create a boolean variable, but I don't know how to do it.I use RT3.1 from the german "PC Praxis".Maybe someone can help me here.thank you

All variables in RoboTask are strings
Just set True or False to your variable and you can use it in "If..Then" condition with "as boolean" option
Also you can use Yes/No pair

Must I take a new variable?In some trys I set True to the variable but RT brings an error back.

"True" or "False" is a same string as another srtings.

Use the string {Test1} instead of Test1

You may use any expression with (or without) variables. Therefore you have to write all variable names between {}. Otherwise RoboTask use this string "as is". The string "Test1" is not a boolean expression.

Outsch Now it works, thank you.Thanks also for your fast replies.

Also you may to use integer values:
0 = False
any other values = True

This is undocumented but this is working

Now I have the next problem:How can I declare number-values?Must I say (number) or <number>?

Just set 0 or 1 or 2, etc

You can't declare the typed variables. You must set the numeric value only
