Try something like the following:


<setVariable label="SetVar: FileContents" name="FileContents" inputFile="C:\Temp\MyFile.txt" version="2.0" />

Thanks Rick, that is working.

The thing is that I need to use that content to rename a file, and when doing it, it is adding a "return carriage" into the name. Any other option(s) ?

It depends on what you're trying to do.

Can you post your Project XML here and give me an example?

I was able to fix it with a Substring Function. Thanks.
