Hi all,

I have recently started working with Finalbuilder6.

I need to some help with fileset copy funcationality. Is there a way to pass the function a variable rather than having to define a specific fileset.

What I have is a Action group that contains a FilesetCopy, and i would like use a variable passed to the Action group to select a fileset to use with Fileset Copy.

Thanks

Satpal

Hi Saptal   
  
 You can do this using the BeforeAction script event for the FileSet Copy action.   
  
 Javascript:   
 [code]Action.FileSetName = MyVariable; [/code]   
  
 Regards,
