A variable is a piece of information stored within the project. It is defined by its name within the templating system.
Variables can be of different types:
| Numeric | |
|---|---|
INT | integer |
UINT | unsigned integer |
FLOAT | floating point number (approximation of a real number) |
DOUBLE | more precise floating point number (approximation of a real number) |
| Logical | |
BOOL | a boolean value, where true is represented by 1 and false by 0 |
| String | |
WCHAR_STRING | wide character string |
CHAR_STRING | character string |
STRING | standard string |
| Other | |
DATETIME | only the variable dateTime has this type |
To use a variable, write it as $(variableName). During template processing, it will be replaced with its actual value.
