How to assign array variable in external config file into array variable on UiPath Studio?

[11115 (Takuya)]

Hi,

Now I’m working on the RPA development and I encounter the problem.
I use the external config file(excel) and the config information will be imported into dictionary<string, object> variable(Variable name:Config) once the robot started. e.g (Name:FILEPATH, Value: temp\test.txt)

If the variable is string then I can use in_Config(“Variable Name”).Tostring method.
However if it is array variable, how can I handle it?

Best Regards,
Takuya

Hi Takuya,

An example would be helpful but you could use a string with delimiters and split it into an array once imported.

Load Array of Strings from Config File

Hello all! I was wondering if it was possible assign to a variable type of Array of Strings a value from the REFramework Config file. I tried saving the value in the config in the following format: {"123,“456”}. And I had a message saying that I cannot assign to an Array a String Value. [image] [image] Any solution to this? Thank you all in advance!
