字符串中的自动热键转义引号（用于运行命令参数）

Question

I'm trying to pass arguments to a windows command via autohotkey, but I haven't been able to successfully escape quotes in the string.

I want to do something like: Run, shutdown "/s /c /"MESSAGE/""

So I run the command: shutdown /s /c "MESSAGE"

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Double up the quotes to escape them.

Run, shutdown "/s /c ""MESSAGE"""

See the EscapeChar documentation for more information.

Answer 2

The forward slash is not an escape key so you don't need to escape it, if you have problems put curly braces around it like : shutdown {/}f {/}r {/}t 00 {Enter} but it should work (and does on my machine) without curly braces. The quotes can also be done inside curly braces. So: shutdown /s /c {"}MESSAGE{"} should work.
