Escape character and special character

Escape character

A character ~ (tilda) can be used as an escape sequence in the case you need to include the comma as part of a string parameter as an example below:

FSCommand("CopyFile", "C:\\Data\\Building~, Material and Registration.doc,C:\\Migration\\Building~, Material and Registration.doc");

This FSCommand will copy a file at C:\Data\Building, Material and Registration.doc into C:\Migration\Building, Material and Registration.doc

Special character

A special character \n may be used to define a new line in any string parameter. An example below will create a new line within the message box string message.

FSCommand("MessageBox", "2, Testing MessageBox,Line1\nLine2,1,RetVal");

Another special character \\ must be used to represent \ in a file path. Eg: C:\data\test.dat must be written as C:\\data\\test.dat.
