base » save(var,value)
Description
This command instructs Nexial to save/overwrite a variable with the specified value. If the specified value resolved to an empty string, then the specified variable will be deleted. Practically speaking, variable manipulated through this command will almost always save its value as string (text). However, Nexial will apply some logic during the retrieval of such variable to the most appropriate data type. For example, saving “1.0” can be treated as numeric 1.0 or 1 during assertion or comparison.
Parameters
- var - the variable name to save the specified value
- value - the value to associate to the specified variable
Example
Row 7 save the text World to a variable named as var1. Row 8 retrieves the same variable as part of a longer
string to product Hello World.
