Special Characters

The slash'\', comma ',' and percent '%' are treated as special characters, and you must be careful when using them.

',' is used to separate parameters in the script file.
'%' is used to indicate DOS variables.

If you wish to use any of this characters literally, you must precede them with the slash '\' character, i.e. "\," or "\%". If you wish to use a literal '\' you must precede this also, i.e. "\\".

The "\n" and "\t" sequences can be used to denote new lines and tabs in the AutoIt output functions MsgBox and InputBox.
