gedel 0 Posted November 22, 2010 Hi, I'm new to AutoIt so please forgive me if i post a question already answered elsewhere. In the process of writing a little script i did the following: $var = @WorkingDir ; to get the directory i am currently in Run("cmd") Send ($var) ; just to see what it does As a matter of fact i am in D:\tests\!-web\ This is a valide path yet the '!' is not put into $var which means that it becomes D:\tests\-web thus not providing the real path. Can anyone point me to a soluton to this (other than naming my directory different?) thanks in advance -georg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
