@PopupMenu and "/"

Hey folks!

I use @popupmenu with a drop down list to choose SMS messages to send -- and I'd like to add an option to share our company Google Review page.  Problem is, @popupmenu takes the '/' and thinks it's a submenu.

I've tried working around with @chr, no luck.  Any suggestions how I can do this?

Hey Blair,

You can escape the forward slash with a back slash. So vString = @Replace(vString, "/", "\/") and then just pull it out of the picked choice as well doing the reverse.

Hmmm.  That didn't seem to work.  Here's what I did:

vSubject = @Popupmenu(@replace("Your account with our office is now closed, how did we treat you?  Feel free to leave a review for us at https://g.page/kingstondc/review/", "/", "\/")

And then afterwards, before the HTTPost,

vSubject = @replace(vSubject,"\/","/")

On the pop-up in Sesame and subsequent text, it came up as a backslash, not a forward slash, and an invalid URL.... did something get mangled?

Hey Blair,

I apologize, That's what I get for trying to go off memory sometimes. Here's what you need

Code
Select All
Var vS as String

vS = @PopupMenu(@replace("Your account with our office is now closed, how did we treat you?  Feel free to leave a review for us at https://g.page/kingstondc/review/", "/", "//"), "Pick One")

Writeln(vS)
