Special Characters in Script
Script variable names can only contain a limited set of characters. This includes:
Any other character is invalid as part of a variable name.
-
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
-
0123456789_
-
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-
áàâóòôúùûéèêíìî
-
äöüÄÖÜß
-
ÁÀÂÓÒÔÚÙÛÉÈÊÍÌÎ
As a result, a variable name that contains an invalid character is substituted in script. For example, "Field-New" becomes Field<n>, where n is the index number of the field based on its location in the Project Tree.
The same applies for field names, script locators, script validation methods and script formatters.
