Environment Variables
I have set some environment variables by adding them to my profile and exporting them.
var1 is set as /home/user/folder.
When I use $E(var1)/test/sample.txt I get an error message saying the file $E(var1)/test/sample.txt in the wizard doesn't exist. Checking the path for errors, it actually does exist.
What am I doing wrong?

How are using this?
If you do an 'env' make you see your variable?
And the file does exist:
/home/user/folder/test/sample.txt
Try the following in a custom action:
String var1 = arg0.resolveString("$E(var1)");
JOptionPane.showMessage(null, "var1 = " + var1);
or
String sampFile = arg0.resolveString("$PATH($E(var1)/test/sample.txt")));

Tom
