special characters
|
I want to do something like:
@var = Hi%this~is~a~test
but zmud parses the ~'s and %'s.
Is there anyway I can make the whole string literal?
Putting a ~ in front of each character is not feasible because the string isn't the same every time. |

Is there a way to do that within a trigger? If "Hi%this~is~a~test" is in the text that the trigger fires off of, then it strips out the tildes and the percent sign.
It does work on the the command line, though. |

In the above example, you should use a verbatim trigger. The verbatim checkbox is located in the Options tab of the trigger. With that checked, Zmud will not do any parsing of the trigger pattern.
If you need to employ the parser, then you'll have to use ~'s everywhere, like this:
Hi~%this~~is~~a~~test
