ired syntax help, escaping chars

question on scripting guys.

finally upgrading ired to ired2.. the object classes have changed in ired2 so script has to be tweaked, but i'm having an issue with syntax. i have a situation where i need to submit to ired the same variable twice, separated by a slash. how do i write this??? never got the hang of escaping.

Code: Select all

i have slashes in my device names, how do i write that so it parses correctly with the same variable? i.e..:


   tell application "iRed2" to perform action (Code irCode of Device myRemote / myRemote)
           
the part in question is the "myRemote / myRemote" part. i need the slash to be quoted as a string in between the two vars, so the resulting string is as in:

   --perform action (Code "MUTE/Z1" of Device "Anthem/D2v/Anthem/D2v”)


(  for reference: myRemote = “Anthem/D2v” ; irCode = “MUTE/Z1”  )

any help appreciated, thanks!!

this is possible right? or am i going to need to find a work around? like renaming all 100 or so ired commands.... ulp.

jeepers. solved, and stupidly easy, just didn't try it...

thanks for looking!


[embarrassingly:

Code: Select all

set RemoteDev to {myRemote, "/", myRemote}


works just fine. d'oh. ]

I'm glad you got it up and working again.
