Hi,

I would like to set a macro value with the value taken from a text file. How can i do that.

Thank you.

Extending this idea, how can I extract some text from a file and assign it to the macro? For example, extract the version ID from a file, where the version is always coded in the following format

VersionID = "x.y.z";

(x.y.z could, of course, change from build to build)
