How to pass ( ) into Send keys

[sapna_soni0290]

Hi,

I want to pass my shared drive path into send keys
C:/ABC/XYZ (R drive)/Randon values/Random Values.xlsx but because of ( ) its not able to write values & throw exception as group delimeters are not balanced.

Please suggest how can i pass my values . I am using Env variable data type to pass this.

Hi  sapna soni,

Try to use copy and paste clipboard instead of using global send keys

Hi Sapna Soni,

You can pass the text from the input parameter by using below VBO

VBO: Utility - envioronment
Action:
1) Clear Clipboard
 
2) Set Clipboard(set the data item that you want in the Clipboard)

3) you can use Global Send Keys: ^v to paste the data in the desired place.

For the step 3 you can try Global send keys if it is not working then you might need to create C# or vb.net code to escape special characters

Hi

I hope you have already solved your issue

Still you can check this by enclosing in this way {(} , {)}

so if you are long text then you can use replace function to replace ( with {(} and ) with {)} in calculation stage
