    defVar --name text --type String --value "Leader in Automation!"
defVar --name bytesList --type List --innertype Byte
defVar --name conversionSuccess --type Boolean
defVar --name convertedText --type String
textToBytes --text "${text}" bytesList=value
logMessage --message "\r\nText written in Bytes:\r\n${bytesList}" --type "Info"
bytesToText --bytes ${bytesList} --convertiontype "Text" --encoding "Default" conversionSuccess=success text=value
// Display in the console a list of bytes and text after the list is converted.
logMessage --message "\r\nText after conversion:\r\n${convertedText}" --type "Info"
