Variables

Variables let you inject a string into a field.

The available variables are based on the flow nodes before the current node.

E.g. if you use a Video File node this will insert {vi.Video.Codec} etc

Using in Text Fields

To use a variable inside a text field, they must be wrapped in {}.

For example, {file.Name}

Typing { will open up a variable selector of available variables.

Using in a Function or Script

To use a variable inside a function or script, call the Variables object

For example,

Variables.file.Name

Options

These let you alter the the variable value

Option	Description	Example	Output
!	Uppercase	{ext!}	MKV
:0	Left pad with 0	{file.CreateDate.Day:00}	05

Formatters

When using a variable inside a text field, you can alter how that variable is displayed by using a formatter

Formatter	Name	Description	Example
!	UpperCase	Converts the value to upper case, (| not required)	MYVALUE
0	Digits	Will pad a number with the number of 0s specified	0002
date	Date	Formats a value as a date
time	Time	Formats a value as a time
datetime	DateTime	Formats a value as a datetime
MyhHmsft:-_	DateTime	Formats a value as a custom date time string, eg d-MMM-yyyy h:mm:ss tt	2-Nov-2022 5:34:49 p.m.
size	Size	Formats a value in B, KB, MB, GB, TB.	1.4GB

To use a formatter append | then the format, eg

{file.Name!} - {file.Size|size} {file.Create|dd-MM-yyyy} {file.Create|time}
