Question related to strings

[HenK]

Hi,

Who can help me with the following:

This is my script for processing quickpar files:

While 1

$teller = $teller + 1

$file = FileFindNextFile($search)

If @error Then ExitLoop

Run ("c:\Program Files\Quickpar\Quickpar.exe")

winwaitactive ("QuickPar - Select Files To Protect")

send ("!O") ; open a file

WinWaitActive ("Select recovery volume")

MsgBox (0, "Processing file" & $teller, $file)

send ("!n") ; go to the control where you enter the file name

send ($file)

send ("!o") ; start processing

winwaitactive ("QuickPar")

send ("!E")

This works fine for all filenames, except for "vol0+1.PAR2".

This filename prints OK with the MsgBox instruction, but transforms to "vol0!.PAR2" when sent with the send instruction.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?

+ has a special meaning for send. It sends the SHIFT keys, that's why you see ! (SHIFT 1). You must escape the + (and all other "special characters" - see help file for send())

$string = "+1"
$newstring = StringReplace($string,"+","{+}")
Send($newstring)

Cheers
