square brackets in variable value

[obob]

Is there an issue with square brackets in string passed to a variable in if and switch statements?
When I pass a string containing square brackets to switch or if statements, it does not get evaluated,
when I pass string without square brackets the same switch and if, it works as expected.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Yes, you probably have a bug in your syntax. You could post your script for feedback.

Code: Select all

string := "[mybrackets]"

if (string = "[mybrackets]")
    MsgBox,, if, % string

switch string
{
    case "[mybrackets]":MsgBox,, switch, % string
    Default:MsgBox ?
}
