Inserting brackets into a file
 

Hello,

I'm trying to insert the following string into a source file:

[assembly: SomeAttribute("foo")

(Note that there is no closing bracket)

If I enter this string in the replace box of the 'Replace in file' item it complains that if find no closing bracket and generates a parsing error (expecting section). Even if i adde the closing bracket it does not work because vbp thinks that is is a piece of code and wants to execute teh statement 'assembly:...'.

I tried to create a macro and a function that returns a string that contains the string above, but even the result of both ways are subject to parsing.

So how can i insert a '[' in a file?

Brackets within a field normally denote script code to be evaluated. To insert a literal bracket char, double up the character: [[. If you lookup '[' in the help index, the related topics document this.
