how to capture backslash for a variable

[mfauzim]

I have a code as below

Let>VAREXPLICIT=1
Let>LoginId=TMMASTER\s10780
Press alt
Send Character/Text>u
Release alt
send>%LoginId%

when execute loginId=TMMASTER\s10780, ms assign loginId with only TMMASTER. How can I make sure ms assign TMMASTER\s10780 to loginID

Thank in advance

I have changed to script as below:

let>backslash=\
Let>LoginId=TMMASTER%backslash%s10780
Press alt
Send Character/Text>u
Release alt
wait>1
send>LoginId


when view in watchlist, login show it has been assign TMMASTER\s10780 which is correct.
But when send>LoginId, when is send to the text box is only TMMASTER, ms omit the \s10780.

Is this a abug and how to work around it.
I am using ms 10.1.21

I can't replicate with Notepad. This works fine:

Code: Select all

Let>VAREXPLICIT=1
Let>LoginId=TMMASTER\s10780

SetFocus>Notepad*
Send>%LoginId%

Must be something to do with the app you are sending to?

The above problem only occurs when I do debug/trace.
But when I compile into exe and run the script using exe,
the program input correct TMMASTER\s10780 into the text box

The debugger is probably steeling focus back. Try disabling Refocus Windows under the debug menu.

At least it works when run live!
