 +Swift scripts can get or set Keyboard Maestro Variables by using AppleScript,​ for example:
 +
 +<code swift>
 +import Foundation
 +
 +let myString = "the Value"
 +NSAppleScript(source:​ "tell application \"​Keyboard Maestro Engine\"​ to setvariable \"​fromSwift\"​ to \"​\(myString)\""​)?​
 +.executeAndReturnError(nil)
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Note that if the value might contain backslashes or quotes, you will need to deal with quoting them, replacing every backslash with backslash-backslash,​ and every double quote with backslash-double quote.
