Using Special Characters
As you know, VisualNEO Win requires an Action’s parameters to be surrounded by “quotes” and variables to be placed inside [brackets]. This makes it easy to write and understand VisualNEO Win Actions, but impossible to display one of those characters as part of a AlertBox message or write them to a data file. You can overcome this limitation using a special variable that lets you specify characters using their ASCII codes. For example, the quote character is ASCII #34, which you would specify in VisualNEO Win as [#34]. The # symbol tells VisualNEO Win that this variable represents an ASCII character. Using this feature within an Action command would look like this:
AlertBox "Hello" "Look [#34]quotes.[#34]"
Other special characters and their ASCII values include:
" |
[#34] |
[ |
[#91] |
] |
[#93] |
| |
[#124] |
Carriage Return |
[#13] |
Line Feed |
[#10] |
Tab |
[#9] |
