Read Integer from List Step

The Read Integer from List Step gets an integer from a certain spot in a list of integers. You use it to pull one number from a list and save it in a new or existing variable.

How to Use Read Integer from List

Use this step to get an integer from a list by its index.

Step 1: Add the Step to Your Process

1. Drag and drop the Read Integer from List step into your process.
2. (Optional) In the Step name field, give the step a custom name. This helps you find it in your process.

Step 2: Set Up Input Parameters

1. List of integers (Required)
   • Type the name of a variable that already holds your list of integers.
   • Example: myIntegerList
2. Iterator index (Required)
   • Type the name of an existing integer variable. This variable needs to contain the index (position) of the integer you want to read from the list.
   • Example: currentIndex (If currentIndex is 0, it reads the first item.)

Step 3: Set Up Output Parameter

1. Integer value destination variable (Required)
   • Type a name for a new or existing integer variable. The integer read from the list will be saved here.
   • Example: extractedInteger

Parameters Explained

Step name (Optional)

• A custom name for this step in your workflow.
• Example: Get ID from List
• Use it to make your process easier to understand.

List of integers (Required)

• The variable that holds the list of integer values you want to read from.
• Example: myNumbers (where myNumbers is [10, 20, 30])
• You must set up this variable before you use it in this step.

Iterator index (Required)

• The variable that holds the zero-based index of the integer you want to get.
• Example: loopIndex (If loopIndex is 1, it gets the second item in the list.)
• People often use this with a loop to go through each item in a list.

Integer value destination variable (Required)

• The variable where the integer you pull out will be stored.
• Example: currentNumber
• You can use this variable in the steps that come after.
