Handling Special Characters in BLS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to handle a string with single quotes/apostraphe ( ' ) in BLS through a variable. But it gives me error while handling that character.

I have already tried giving "\" before ' still it doesn't work.

e.g.

Transaction variable name -> test

value in the variable -> D' Souza

Please help.

Ankit,

There is a keyword for the ( ' ) character, which is: singlequote

Also there is one for the ( " ) character as well, doublequote

Hope this helps.

Ankit,

Additionally you can use the xmlencode() function on the Variable, which will probably suite your needs a little bit better.
