Backslash \ does not works with Type Into

llobo3 · September 7, 2019, 2:50pm

Hello there,

Recently i’m in a problem with a Type Into trying to type a backslash \ in a replace in Excel, no idea why it type a ’ instead of a \ also it’s activated SendWindowMessage for run in backgrounds but if i turn off SendWindowMessage it works correctly typing the backslash \ btw i need it to works in backgrounds.

I’m adding attachments of the sequence please someone help me with this problem!

Type into for backslash \

This happened when i run this sequence with SendWindowMessage

I forgot to mention still i tryed with combination of ALT + 92 doesn’t works too, copying backslash from another Excel still brings the same ’

Cheers Luis L.

Hi @llobo3

Don’t give delay after before activate empty field send window messages

Give only click before typing and the selector

Thanks

Hi @llobo3

I wonder whether its using a different keyboard layout… have you tried printing other special characters to see whether those work as expected? Try the comma, @ ! And few other characters to see whether they work…
