How to save a variable for later use.

[User1306]

maybe this is simple, i'm not sure.
but how do i save a variable value for use later?

i have a couple of python scripts that gather info, whether it was the indoor Temperature, or the condition outside..... i need to read these variables in different macros for later use.

now i use the File Write and File read and have EG write the values to a notepad file, but i'm thinking there must be an easier way to do that, instead or reading and writing to file all the time.

if this is my best option, i'll just delete this Topic.

thank you in advance.

This code sets a "global variable" named "test1" to "123" then prints eg.globals.test1 in the Log.

I believe your are looking to set eg.globals.your_variable_name_here

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1700">
    <Action Name="Python Script Set EG Global Variable">
        EventGhost.PythonScript(u'eg.globals.test1 = "123"\nprint eg.globals.test1')
    </Action>
</EventGhost>
