Question on EPM Automate getSubstVar

Summary:

Greetings,

quick question on getSubstVar. Is there a way to extract the content of a substitution variable into either a Batch/Powershell/Groovy variable?

When executing EPM Automate, the content of variable is created into a text file at which point I have additional code to load into a another variable.

So the question is, am I overcomplicating things, or is that the normal step?

Many thanks..
