Automator: pass-through input I have an "ask for finder items" step in my Automator workflow, which produces a list of files selected by the user.

I then use these files as an input for a second step.

At that point I need to execute a bash command (third step).

In the fourth step, I need to use the original list of files as an input. How do I refer to it in Automator? Is there any pass-through for inputs?

Please note that re-ordering the steps is not an option.

UPDATE: It seems the proposed solution does not work for me:
It's very easy to do this; all you need to do is use the 'Set Value of Variable', execute your bash script, then use 'Get Value of Variable'. You can also set multiple variables, name them, etc. as you need. Take a look at the quick example I created, which should resemble what you are intending to do. You'll notice that after I set the variable my bash script searched for files elsewhere, then after that was completed I easily recalled the variable (files a, b, c).
