Trouble saving build output

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

 I’m having trouble saving the output from one of my builds. I run the build using a DOS command that ssh’s to a Linux box and does a make. I log the output to a variable, and afterwards use a Write to Text File action to save it to a file. The problem I’m having is that the build output contains the string ‘$(MAKE)’, and the Write to Text File is failing, saying that there is no variable called MAKE. The Write to Text File action doesn’t have an option to have it expand variables or not, is there any way to get it to save the contents of the variable without trying to expand what it thinks are variables in the content? Or is there a better way to do this?

  Thanks,

Hi Keith,

Variable expansion is recursive by default - you can disable further variable expansion by using the following syntax:
%!VariableName%

Ahhh, that sounds exactly like what I need. Very useful.

Thanks!
