Powershell escaping characters in script

[nebasax834]

i am trying to run a powershell script from within autohotkey..because the script has json data, the script is formatted weirdly to escape " (double quotes)...but i guess autohotkey also skips characters bcoz escaping i use for the powershell script and is a big mess...i hope somebody can help me with the script to fix it

Code: Select all

ControlGetText, DLink, Edit1, Download File Info ahk_class #32770 ahk_exe IDMan.exe
ControlGetText, Lname, Edit4, Download File Info ahk_class #32770 ahk_exe IDMan.exe

PS = aria2p call addUri -J '[[\"%DLink%\"],{\"out\": \"%Lname%\"}]'

Clipboard := PS

Runwait Powershell.exe  -noexit -Command "%PS%"

if the script is run as %PS% i get an error....but if i paste the script copied into the clipboard and run it manually it runs jus fine

Hallo,
untested:

Code: Select all

PS = aria2p call addUri -J '[[\"%DLink%\"]`,{\"out\"`: \"%Lname%\"}]'

If Target contains any commas, they must be escaped

thank you..unfortunately tht comma is not the issue in my case.. tested it trying to skip tht comma and it didnt really make a difference...is there any way to pass the command as a string or as RAW to powershell??? or wud it be possible to pass the variable to an external powershell script??
