  I want to be able to have ZapTest type out “” but I am not sure how to do that. I tried using escaped characters, but that does not as well. I am using JavaScript. I attached a screenshot of what I am attempted to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Antonia Alleyne,
  As I understood you wish the string “Long Axis” will appear with quotes, if this is correct then the answer is:
  Application(“Expert Window”).View(“Dev Console”).Object(“Enter command”).Type(“sensor.probe-override-window-name “Long Axis”test “);
  Thanks,

  Hello
  I see the code cannot be saved in the Forum as in ZAPTEST, so I’ve attached it as a screenshot.

  P.S. If you cannot open the attached screenshot please use this URL to view it:

  Hello Sasha, My apologies for the delay. I didn’t realize that I needed to log in in order to see the messages.

  However, I tried the command that you mentioned above
  Application(“Expert Window”).View(“Dev Console”).Object(“Enter command”).Type(“sensor.probe-override-window-name “Long Axis”test “);
  and that did not work.

  I was able to get it to type by using the command
  Application(“Expert Window”).View(“Dev Console”).Object(“Enter command”).Type(“sensor.probe-override-window-name “Long Axis” “);
  but I need the quotes to be specific in order for me to use what it types.

  If I switch the quotes to the command below, then it does not work.
  Application(“Expert Window”).View(“Dev Console”).Object(“Enter command”).Type(“sensor.probe-override-window-name “Long Axis” ”);

  Does that mean that the outer quotes must always be “” and the inner “”

  Also attached screenshot below

  didn’t realize that the quotes would look the same once I submitted, but the image is reflective of the two different quote types.

  Hello Antonia,
  Basically there are 2 ways to type a string inside quotes:
  1. If you are setting ZAPTEST scripting language to JavaScript then you should use this format of text:

  2. If you are setting ZAPTEST scripting language to VBScript then you should use this format of text:

  P.S. In Test Settings you can set ZAPTEST’s Script Language:

  Hope this helps,
  Thanks,
