ASCII Characters in Scripts
You can insert Lower ASCII characters into a script by using an escape sequence around the hexadecimal value of the ASCII character. In this context, lower ASCII is the first 31 characters of the ASCII character set.
Note: Loftware converts Upper ASCII characters, so they can be included in a script without the escape sequence.
- Begin the escape sequence: #x
- End the escape sequence: ;
For example, this sequence would send the Backspace character:
#x08;
