AutomateC Password with Special Characters

StefanSchnell1

Hello Community,

a tiny question for the use of AutomateC: I want to export processes via AutomateC as described here.
The password I use contains special characters e.g. like >. I try it with AutomateC /user "MyName" "47>11".
My first question: Is it okay to set the password in double quotes?
If not, how can I use special characters like > in the AutomateC command line?

Without the double quotes I get an error message that the command is wrong, with double quotes I get the error message: Login failed: The wrong login type was used. I use the same user name and password as for my normal login. What does the error message mean, the wrong login type was used?

Thanks for hints and tips.
Best regards
Stefan
