Handle spl char in selector

[KarthikBallary]

Hello,
I have dynamic selector=aaname="+ word +"

where word might conatin &,'s etc.
but selector accepts it as abc&amp (example)
How to resolve this

You can use as follows:

‘abc*amp’

[KarthikBallary]

word.replace("&","&amp").replace("'s",“apos;s”)
this is better?
are these only two char that get converted?

[rkelchuri]

Could you please post your full selector captured by UiExplorer. It would be easy to guide.
&amp is a concatenation of next variable in HTML URL. So, with our breaking the association we can suggest in a best way… if you could able to post your selector hear…

Reserved Characters for Selectors

Hi! I have a click activity whose selector contains an embedded variable. The format for the selector is: “<webctrl aaname=’” + myStringVariable + “’ tag=‘INPUT’ />” where the value of myStringVariable is not known in advance. I have noticed that the selector can break depending on the characters in myStringVariable. For example, if myStringVariable = “AD&D”, the selector breaks due to “&” being a reserved character. Is there somewhere I can see a list of all reserved characters for selecto…

[KarthikBallary]

myStringVariable = myStringVariable.Replace(reservedCharacter, escapeSequence)

I am not getting reserbedchar…

[rkelchuri]

“<webctrl aaname=’” + myStringVariable + “’ tag=‘INPUT’ />”

In this above selector if myStringVariable = “abc&amp”
then use
myStringVariable = myStringVariable.Replace("&",""").toString
Then your String will contain
myStringVariable --> “abcamp”

But make sure with out & symbol your URL may broke.
