I have created a script which places some text when i press a short key.
Now the problem is that i have inserted the % sign in the text, like 100%,.
When ever i try to run the script, it gives an error that "This parameter contains a variable name missing its ending percent sign".
Please tell me how to put a percent sign in a text..
thanks

use `% <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke..._EscapeChar.htm<!-- m -->
or SendRaw.
For sending such "large" texts I'd recommend using the clipboard (pasting it) Clip() is very useful for this <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke....html#clipboard<!-- m --> as it retains the clipboard content

If you want to be a god-like man :

Text := Chr(37)
Msgbox %Text%
