The following new functions have been added for processing Variable data:

• Task Instance Variable by XPath

  Code Block
  my_variable= <message> <code>10</code> </message> ${_varXPath('my_variable', '//code/text()')} > 10

  
  

• Task Instance Variable by JsonPath

  Code Block
  my_variable= { "code": 10 } ${_varJsonPath('my_variable', '$.code')} > 10

  
  

• Task Instance Variable by JsonPath as Array

  Code Block
  my_variable= [ { "message" : "Hello", "code" : 10 }, { "message" : "World!", "code" : 20 } ] ${_varJsonPathAsArray('my_variable', '$[*].message', '', true)} > [ "Hello", "World!" ]

  
  

• Task Instance Variable Number of Lines

  Code Block
  my_variable= Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 ${_varNumberOfLines('my_variable')} > 3

  
  

• Task Instance Variable by Specific Line(s)

  Code Block
  my_variable= Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 ${_varLines('my_variable', 2, 2)} > Line 2 Line 3

  
  

  
  

• Task Instance Variable by Line(s) Matching Regular Expression

  
  

  Code Block
  my_variable= Some_Text ABC=Some_String More_Text ${_varLinesByRegex('my_variable', '^ABC=')} /* Returns empty (the whole Line was not matched) */ > ${_varLinesByRegex('my_variable', '^ABC=.*')} > ABC=Some_String

  
  

Task Instance Variable Path. Returns a token representing the path to a temporary file containing the value of the specified variable.

application.exe -file ${_varPath('my_variable')}
> application.exe -file $(ops_variable_path_my_variable_txt)

application.exe -file ${_varPath('my_variable', 'csv')}
> application.exe -file $(ops_variable_path_my_variable_csv)

Set Variable Actions can now use a variable as part of the variable name, for example a workflow has the following set variable action to set the current date / time in order to record the last run date for each region.

The Triggers that launch the workflow, one for each region, set the region variable to the region's 2-character short code, US, EU, AP, etc.

The Global variables are set as follows:
