Global variables

Suppose you want to specify the same directory in many projects. In this case, it can be more convenient to define a global variable - path. Add the path variable to the list of global variables (Menu-Tools-Global Variables) and use $path$ anywhere in Perfect Automation.

$outpath$\app.exe 
$myfile$
