Macro get content of variable doesn't work

[#1]

Hey, 

When I tried to do this:

temp = ActiveDocument.Variables("vTemp").GetContent.String

path = Replace(path,  "{1}", temp)

And I get nothing.

When I declare the variable in the module like this,  it works :

temp = "temp"

path = Replace(path,  "{1}", temp)

The "vTemp" variable declared in the Variable Overview.

What is the problem?

Thanks.

Are you calling the macro from the script or from the UI?

Hi,

It is not suggested to use macros if you can achieve the same without using the macros.  Always try to avoid macros, some doesn't works in Ajax mode.

Anyway to achieve your requirement use below macro

SUB setVariable()
set v = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vTemp")
vTempValue = v.GetContent.String
set v = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("path")
v.SetContent Replace(v.GetContent.String, "{1}", vTempValue), true
END SUB

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.
