Extract part of the build log into a variable?

FinalBuilder Discussion

I have an Execute Program action. I’d like to parse a piece of information from the console output of that program (which is captured in the log) and use that information to update a variable.

I guess I could use Export Log File together with Run Script, but that seems like a lot of work, and a lot of unnecessary I/O - I only need to look at the last few lines of the log, not the 1000’s of lines that have already gone by.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried putting some script in the OnStatusMessage event? That’s probably the best spot - but it will have to process each and every line.

I’ll give that a try - looks like it should work just fine, thanks!
