RPA-Blueprism - Global Send Keys - Input text which has '(' is not working

Question

RPA-Blueprism - Global Send Keys - Input text which has '(' is not working. Only the text gets entered without brackets, please assist. Ex: 'Paste (Text)' is the text I want to send, however, the text is sent to the field as 'Paste Text'

Answer 1

Global Send Keys internally uses System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys, so characters like braces or parentheses must be escaped.

One workaround is using the Calculation stage with several Replace instructions, replacing the problematic characters with the escaped version.

other is you can use

"Paste {(}Text{)}".
