Release Automation

i have a scenario where i want to use Add Text to a File action to update content in same file,

Hi Kumar,

I'm not sure whether I understand your requirement, but I share my verification.

This is a text file. C:\work\a.txt

Created 2 actions using [Add Text to a File] action type.

First one is to add "aaa" after "111" with linefeed.

Second one is to add "bbb" after "aaa" in same file.

Set actions to a process like following, and run.

And then, insert "aaa" and "bbb" to the file.

I hope you can clarify regarding this action type.

If this info is not enough for you, please share the detail of your requirement.

Thanks

Yas

Hello Yasuyuki,

we are creating some .dat files here and we want to give run time values in those files, If we use Add text to a file action after create .dat file action (mentioned in below snapshot), same value is updating in each .dat file.

Hello,

The values as shown by Yas were hard coded. But you can easily use parameters with values you get elsewhere (whether it be via user prompt, environment/release parameters, extracted from other files, etc..). 

The part I wasn't clear on is whether you wanted to add content to a file - like Yas shows where he added aaa after 111. Or, did you want to replace 111 with aaa. If you want to replace then I think there are some actions that will do that as well. Also, if replacement is what you need then you might want to consider using Tokens.

Kind regards,

Gregg
