# Windows Notepad automation

This example demonstrates a basic Notepad app automation, compatible with both Windows

11 and Server 2019.

## How it works

1. Opens the provided [*test.txt*](devdata/test.txt) in Notepad using the Windows Run

     widget.

2. Initially it configures the font.

3. Then it sets a text (current timestamp) in the already opened file.

4. Saves the new content in the file, then closes the app.

### Configuring the run with environment variables

- `FILE_TO_OPEN`: An absolute filepath to a file, defaults to

 [*test.txt*](devdata/test.txt) found in *devdata*.

- `NOTEPAD_FONT_NAME`: Defaults to "Times New Roman".

- `NOTEPAD_FONT_STYLE`: Defaults to "Regular".

- `NOTEPAD_FONT_SIZE`: Defaults to "12".
