Appending Text To Variable

[frateg8r]

I have established string variable T1 from the clipboard:

Variable Set String %T1% from Clipboard

 

In this case, the clipboard contains a four digit number, such as 4744.

 

At a later point in my macro, I ask ME to append text to the variable, being the letters ID. This code is scripted as:

Variable Modify String: Append "ID" to %T1%

 

The next line should then type out the modified variable as 4744ID:

Text Type: %T1%

 

However, what invariably (pseudo-pun intended!) is the original form of the variable, 4744. Can anyone shed some light on why my desired revised variable is typing out? TIA.

It should work as you describe. Give us your code from the direct editor and let's see what's wrong.
