variable in table path

[archel]

Hi

In a table, you have to give a file path.

Eg this works:
{-Project.Directory-}\file1.txt

but this not:
{-Project.Directory-}\file{-Variable.varnumbertest-}.txt

Now I'd like to know what you have to do if you want the content of the table to be either that of file1 or file2?

Thanks!

{-Project.Directory-}file\{-Variable.varnumbertest-}.txt

{-Project.Directory-}file\{-Variable.varnumbertest-}.txt

im sorry rostonix, but i think you misunderstood the question here...

file1.txt is name of the file, file is not subdirectory

so archel what would i suggest you to try if nothing else works for you is to use random file path (if you need random that is) from some folder...

let say you have folder "tables" and inside you have file1.txt and file2.txt

what you need to do in that case is just use directories action, there you set file path bla bla bla from which directory you want it to pick, and set result as variable

then in table you need just that variable and nothing else.



I hope this helps

Oh I got it wrong)
Thanx.

You can do this: take path of needed file, put it in variable.
Then use table processing - bound with file

After this you can operate with table.
So initially you don't put any path in table's settings

hmm

I'll try that out and see if it works.
Thanks.

Nice, it worked.

Couldn't use the randomize option, since the random number for the text file was only an example.
Though, binding a file to the table (with empty path) did work.

Thanks both for your help.

You can generate random number (1 2 3) and use files file1 file2 file3 as file{-variable.yourgeneratednumber-}
In path to the file you can use variables.

Or use directories processing - get list of files in directory - send o list
List processing - get line (random)

you can use randomize, because it is picking random file no matter how it is named!
