Filename and + character

[SImplify 0]

Hi all,

I have problem with folder and filename where are + character. F.e.

HT121_M_(50+50 DF).vd2

I have script where I use fileopendialog to select many files. Then I go through file by file to open those in other program. Everything went well until there were + character in file name.

I debug my code and realize that variables value where right just before typing the filename.

F.e.

msgbox(0,"0",$file_to_open)

ControlSend("Select a file to import machines from","","Edit1",$file_to_open)

In msgbox the filename are:HT121_M_(50+50 DF).vd2

But when typing in Edit1 textfield it's: HT121_M_(50%0 DF).vd2

Anyway, easy solution (maybe not easiest) is to change filenames, but in this case that's not the best wayt to do this, cause I need to keep those original names. Anyone has idea?

Cheers

I made a small test with a Run('+') after renaming a program to '+.exe'. And I had no problems, can we see some code?

Otherwise you can roll a number to find a unusu need ed temp filename and saving the original name in a variant, rename, do what you need and rename to the old name....

I can not find any problems under English version of Windows XP Pro SP2....

What language and version of Windows do you use? (I wonder if there is some issue with unicode/nonEnglish Windows versions)

Hi all,

Thx for your answer.

Can you try following examples. in windows Start -> Run and then run this script:

$file_to_open="(25 + 25).vd2"
controlfocus("Run","","Edit1")
ControlSend("Run","","Edit1",$file_to_open)

Guess you haven't read about the parameters for ControlSend, have you? Note the one that's called "flag".

Hehe. Send 'em raw. The "+" key is a "shift" function in AutoIt. If you send the keys raw, it ignores the special characters.

Oooh! Of course. It also happens when using just send command...
