Hi  
  
I’ve one build script which requires some complex logic to decide what projects to be build. For this i’d like to create a C# Console Application which resolves the full path of the solution.  
  
How could I manage to get this string value into a Continua Varibale ? Is there something i could pass to the console application which would sotre the value &nbsp;and make it accessible for my buildscript?

Hi Haggy,  
  
Yes, you can use [custom log messages](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Custom+Log+Messages). Write text with the following format to the console stdout.

`@@continua[setVariable name=‘solutionPath’ value=‘d:\pathToMySolution’ skipIfNotDefined=‘true’]`

&nbsp;  
The variable needs to be defined in the configuration first for this to work.
