Hi. I want replace the value of the input string with the value from a text box, I followed a tutorial from 2016, but I can't make it work. I have a test.csv on the desktop and I have been struggling for the past hours to make this work... Thank you for any help provided!

Hi @aprofir 

 

You should use "Update Value" option and "Replace a Specific String" checked with just replacing the "NAME" value

 

This would work.

Also, when changing inputs, I recommend you to use File Browse tool.

It gives you more flexibility while choosing a data source to replace your Input Tool.

 

Don't forget to click on the magic wand right beside the Run Button to make it work as an App.

 

Cheers,
