Control characters that can be used in script files.

[ron.hodkins]

I'm new to this. Don't know if this is the proper forum....but here goes.

What is a good resource for control characters for script files.

I'm currently trying to write a script where, after user input, I want to resume the script.

The Help file offers this:

Command line: resume (or 'resume for transparent use)

You can interrupt a macro script that is running by pressing ESC or BACKSPACE. Any error encountered while processing input from a script file causes the script to be suspended. If a script is suspended while AutoCAD is active, you can use RESUME to continue the script.


I think it is a slash \ to pause for user input
