Rif.: VBS to Python Syntax

[DTS_PBO]

Hello,

The following command works fine in a VBS script but I'm having trouble converting it to Python script with Diadem.

First is in VBS, second is in Python. The script documentation doesn't appear to have any python specific examples yet. 

k = Find("Ch(""[2]/[7]"")>1",1)

k = dd.Find("Ch(""[1]/[29]"")>1",1)

Hi,

The problem is that double- double quote ("").

In VBS, that is the escape to add a " within a string. In Python it is \" instead.

So you can write:

k = dd.find("Ch(\"[1]/[2]\")>10",1)

Or, even better, since Python supports both ' and " as beginning of a string:

k = dd.find('Ch("[1]/[2]")>10',1)

In this way, you don't need any escape!

That's got it! Thanks for the help and detailed explanation.
