Trying do do a simple

StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, \, /, All

That code works w/ other characters, but gives an error with ‘\’ and/or ‘/’
also tried ASCII codes but those do not work either since % is a variable in AHK.

How to StringReplace a ‘\’ with AutoHotkey?

    I get no error using that line. I used the following snippet to test:

    CapsLock & p::
clipboard = are\there\backslashes?
MsgBox, %clipboard%
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, \, /, All
MsgBox, %clipboard%
return

    I’m using AutoHotKey 1.0.46.1 (which is probably old by now…) on a Windows XP laptop.

    What version are you using?
