Deal with file names as variables.
-
Hey, little question about buildmaster.
im running a powershell script that creates a file with a certain name and then a date.
afterwards, i want buildmaster to do stuff with that file (off course, the last one that created).
how can i "catch" the created file name to a variable so ican do stuff with it?for example. the script is creating the file snir1.txt in the first run. then snir2.txt etc.
i want the next build step to take the file that just been created (SnirN.txt) and send it by mail.Thanks.

In the v4 execution engine, your best bet is to create a file with that name, and then read the file contents into a variable.
In the v5 engine, you will be able to export variables via powershell a little easier (example: PowerShell & Scripting from Otter docs.
