# Store Variable ?

Store variables can be used across various streams. The big difference compared to temporary and helmut variables are that those can be created, modified and deleted within a stream.

For further informations have a look here: [Stream Variable Store](/helmut4-releases/v4.7.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/stream-variable-store.md)

### Use of the wildcard

The wildcard is used in the following ways:

* Variable key: test1
* Variable value: hello<br>
* {store.variable.?}
* For the following input (?) --> test1
  * {store.variable.test1}
* The output is going to be --> hello
