Dheeraj Sudan and Meenu Hinduja- How to convert string variable into file variable?

​@mhinduja-DheerajSudan Simply, you cannot. What is your use case?

​@mhinduja-DheerajSudan As Aaron mentioned, you can’t covert a string variable into a file variable. But if you are asking because you have a file name stored in a string variable and have an action that requires a file variable (for example, extracting text from a PDF) then you can use the File: Assign action.  You will need to choose either Control Room File or Desktop File as the file to be assigned in order to use a string variable.  If you choose the variable option that requires the variable to be a file type variable and it will not let you choose a string variable. 

This is an example of how I have done this.  My string variable has the full path to a pdf file, including filename and extension, which is located on a network drive.
