Insertion of "|" into a string =/
|
Hi, I am not going to go into the complexity of what I am trying to do, but basicly the problem is... when i make a string with the "|" in it, it breaks the string into a string list, of everything before it, and everything after it. It doesnt matter if i put it in as a char(), etc. Is there a way to keep zmud from evaluation a variable with "|" in it without breaking it into a string list? ~| doesnt work either.
Example:
#VAR temp {~{> P~|P~}lease help} is broken into...
1) {> P
2) P}lease help
Instead of the desired {> P|P}lease help |

I figured out a work around, in case anyone else runs into this problem.. the key is expand list [and if nessesary %exec].
#NOOP %exec( ~#TR ~{%expandlist( @temp, "|")~} ~{~#VAR ThisWorked ~{yes~}~}) |

Why not? It would probably be easier to help if we didn't have to guess what you're trying to accomplish (indirect trigger creation it looks like).
| is the list-separator character. There is no way to put it in a variable without the variable becoming a list or record. That doesn't necessarily make the variable unusable as a string.
#VAR temp {~{> P~|P~}lease help}
#TR {<@temp>} {#VAR ThisWorked {yes}} |
