global variable, join string

I want to use %content_variable[4]% (Global Variable) in Macro 2 so that all content from Macro 1 and Macro 2 comes together, "join" the string, and write it into a textfile.

 

The problem is: Macro 2 (not Global Variable) do not take the content from Macro 1 and join the string. (content from Macro 2 is taken) OR

 

Content from Macro 1 is taken (Macro 2 Variable Global), but do not take the content from Macro 2.

 

How can i fix this?

In Macro 1 you need to check the box "Make this variable availably to macros called by this macro" in the variable definition for content_variable.

curious! This morning I tested both macros with "global variable" (Make this variable availably to macros called by this macro, Macro 1+Macro 2) Doesn't work. Now, it works O_o

 

Thanks Cory. Problem solved.

 

Solution: "Make this variable availably to macros called by this macro" in Macro 1 AND Macro 2
