Hi geniuses,

Inside the Image object I see the - probably Java - code, but it's different from what I know about objects, functions and variables. I would like to replace position etc with variable, but % and %% doesn't work.

How to access this content below: ?

Java:
<ImageElement sr=""ve="2"><RectElement sr="background"><Str sr="arg0"ve="3"/><Int sr="arg1"val="0"/><Str sr="arg2"ve="3">#FFFFDB00</Str><Str sr="arg3"ve="3"/><Int sr="arg4"val="0"/><Str sr="arg5"ve="3">#FF000000</Str><Int sr="arg6"val="0"/><Int sr="arg7"val="0"/><geom>-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1</geom><flags>4</flags></RectElement><Str sr="arg0"ve="3">tetris02</Str><Img sr="arg1"ve="2"/><Int sr="arg2"val="255"/><Str sr="arg3"ve="3"/><geom>-1,-1,-1,-1,300,100,150,60</geom><flags>4</flags></ImageElement>

Any kind help would be appreciated, because I dont even know where to start from, besides I did buyed alot of online books about Java lately, just to know belowed Tasker better.
 
That's not Java. It's XML.
If your're trying to use this as a configuration file, you need to know the XSD (schema definition), to know what are valid values and elements to use.

This code, this content is visible after a button is created in Tasker by using Element -> Create, when I click inside the icon for design. I tried to cut it out and replace all with variable defined before the creation, but %Variable or %%Variable doew not work. The creators did not left that opened just for view it, there is also the icon for variable change nearby on the right, so I think I might be able to switch, but I am lost, I dont know how to start and how to replace for example the position, let's say 100 to %Variable. I dont know the notation, in other places of Tasker, %Variable etc worked, but since its XML like you said, I am lost. Others I think too.
