I am embedding some command lines into an AHK script .. from a tested batch file

In this particular line (containing a regular expression)

RunWait, %COMSPEC% /c type c:\temp\input.txt | TCL "ReplStr '\s*:\s*\w+;' ',' ',\s+' ', ' /r " > c:\temp\output.txt ,, hide

I get this error message displayed .. when running the script

Error at line 214.
Line text ' /r " > c:\temp\output.txt ,,hide
Error: This variable or function name contains an illegal character.
The program will exit.

Any ideas on what illegal character might be causing this error?

You need to escape the commas

Try this:

Code:

RunWait, %COMSPEC% /c type c:\temp\input.txt | TCL "ReplStr '\s*:\s*\w+;' '`,' '`,\s+' '`, ' /r " > c:\temp\output.txt ,, hide

Still wont work for me, I have no Idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to do the same thing as Micha.
I appreciate all the help you can give me on this and sorry for not using the code here is my new code and it still will not work, I add ` and yet still no IE will pop up, if that is what is supposed to happen. The script works but it isn't preforming what was meant for it to do. Could you please tell me what is wrong with my script? Much obliged.

Code:

 loop
{
loop, 50
{
ControlSend, run,C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe http://mwdirect.zynga.com/mwms/jobs.php?tab=1&job=5&action=Do`%20Job&zy_viewer_id=88977911&zy_viewer_name=KeViN&zy_viewer_first_name=KeViN&zy_viewer_last_name=&zy_viewer_pic_url=http`%3A`%2F`%2Fc3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com`%2Fimages02`%2F32`%2Fs_0536cb5c66704a3cb6db467125298122.gif&zy_viewer_prof_url=http`%3A`%2F`%2Fwww.myspace.com`%2Fkevin_barnett&zy_sig=bfbc05bb5887b6a1bcfd6ad1d0575899&zy_is_ajax=true&zy_cn_sig=eaef732dbaef00f4d6cda079fa559793&r=0.24719488294795156
