Incrementing Project.Variables from command line test execute

Great thanks rraghvani I managed to fix it using the ini file using Storages. 

The only thing I noticed that when I used the below code, it creates the section "Settings" from scratch and not just updated the field "Type". 

function TestProc()
{
  var w, Section;
  w = Storages.INI("C:\\testini.ini");
  Section = w.GetSubSection("Settings");
  Section.SetOption("Type", 6);
  w.Save(); }

Let's suppose the content of the files is:

[Root]

[Settings]
Access=ReadWrite
Type=1

[Temp]
Mask=*.log

setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a "x = 0"
set /a "timeout = 1"
:while1
echo top
if %x% leq 1 (
Call %loc6%\abc.bat
goto Other
:middle
set /a "i = x + 1"
echo x: %x%, timeout: %timeout%, i: %i%
%loc0%\testexecute.exe "%loc3%" /r /p:%project% /t:ProjectTestItem%i% /PrjVar:count=%x% /DoNotShowLog /timeout:%timeout% 
echo %x%
if ERRORLEVEL 4 (goto timeout)
if ERRORLEVEL 3 (goto generalfail)
goto closesoftware
goto exitsoftware
:bottom
set /a "x = x + 1"
goto :while1
)
goto Exit

The count variable type is 'Integer' in the Variables page.

rraghvani Thanks for your reply!

The %x% increments in my code with every run, don't know why it doesn't update the variable though.

Because, I am using test execute, will that also update the variable like you have done with test complete.exe? 

Tried everything, no luck! I'm totally stuck. Really need to get it working. I got test complete 14, is that something to worry about?

Also, the command line arguments depends too much on when the text execute exits/stops. When exactly I need to stop the test execute if I want to pass the project variable value? In my test, I exit the test execute in Error handler as well.

echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a x = 1

:loop
if %x% leq 5 (
echo x: %x%
start /wait "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 14\x64\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\Users\test\Documents\TestComplete 14 Projects\ProjectSuiteTest\ProjectSuiteTest.pjs" /run /e /p:TestProjecttt /t:ProjectTestItem1 /prjvar:count=%x% /donotshowlog /ExportLog:"C:\Users\test\Documents\TestComplete 14 Projects\TestLog.mht"
set /a x = x + 1
goto :loop
)

:end
echo finished

I also tried your code, but still getting zero.

Temp is like a traditional variable but stored on the project level and, as you note, is cleared from memory after each run.

Persistent is stored with the variable in the project file.  However, note that, because it's stored in the MDS, anytime you replace the MDS (like retrieving the latest version of the code), you'll reset the value back to what is in the MDS.

So, Temp is more like a true variable while persistent is more like a constant.

I'm only using Exe. plan editor and it runs in batch file.

Storing the value to a file, could you please give me a brief scenario.
