Hi All
I seem to be having problems sending a snippet which contains special characters like "%" or "$". In this case I'm sending the snippet as a password. The resulting message comes back as "incorrect password entered".
But when I do a straight copy and paste (well, a keystroke send), the password works fine.
Is there any reason why passwords which contain these special characters are not sent correctly as a snippet? Does the snippet content perhaps have to be entered in a different way in the Content box?
e.g.
connect##7
Incidentally, I'm using the "macro" option for these snippets, as they need to be sent as keystrokes.
Best
Roger
Update: When I test sending the snippet to a flat Notepad window, it seems to just ignore these characters completely.
So for example: "
roger##1" is sent as "
roger1"

I've discovered what my problem is. These characters need to be enclosed in curly brackets for literal translation.
So in my example, the snippet content should be entered as
"roger{#}{#}1". As outlined here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/Send.htm
