Hi
Can anyone tell me how to compress a file and store it in a custom property
I have a custom property named cVersionInformation
I have tried the following
put compress("myfile.txt") into cVersionInformation of this stack
which doesn't work with an error message
(Chunk can;t create a variable with that name (explicitVariables?)) near cVersionInformation, char 38
Any help greatly appreciated
thanks.

Hi Ini1,

1. welcome to the forum

2. unlike variables you need to SET a custom property to something:
...
set the cVersionInformation of this stack to compress("myfile.txt")
...

Best

many thanks and such a speedy response
