Thanks for posting your question MichealC.

eValid is built with C++ on Windows and it therefore abides by the C++ conventions for character strings.

The "escape character" is the "\" (backslash) character.

It behaves as you would expect it to.

Here is one page that illustrates how strings are handled:

http://e-valid.com/Products/Documentati ... rings.html

Note that some special symbols are converted to/from ASCII as shown in the table on that page.

For example, "blank" is seen as "%20".

That should get you going in the right direction.
