Hi,
I solved the problem just printing to a text file to be saved (or to
save the Log Window) and retrieve the values opening it and splitting
using the split(string, delimiter) function.
Another possibility is to update a string with delimiters that you can
use later to separate the different info.
Hope it helps
Mario
