Salut/Hi phil,
Continuing the trend of upside down posting. Although the key symbol on the left of the 1 key and the shifted \ symbol on the left of the z key look the same, they are different. Assuming that your OS system is set up correctly to use a UK keyboard and the right code page, then using Alt-Gr plus that key will give you the symbol you ask for. ¦ Any reason not to use the continuous vertical line called the pipe symbol | (a hang over from dos days when you used it to redirect output from one device to another) by the way? I trust the two symbols look different to everyone. ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ these are the key on the left of the 1 key as modified by alt Gr. ||||||||||||||||| is the pipe symbol from the left of the Z key modified by shift. english, am in uk, the keyboard is a basic ibm, "Raymond J.

Salut/Hi phil,
le/on Wed, 16 Feb 2005 01:35:03 -0800, tu disais/you said:- Hi Ian yes in notepad when I hold shift and then press the key to the left of Z i get | but when I open the comman prompt and do the same I get the broken line that is done by alt and the button next to 1, as I am typing into the text i cannot usde alt on any of the top line emblems? I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. This is the first time I've read that you are seeking to do this from the Command prompt. Do you WANT the broken line or do you WANT the unbroken line? Is it as part of a command line that you are seeking to use the symbol? What do you mean by the phrase button next to 1, as I am typing into the text i cannot usde alt on any of the top line emblems? I'm really sorry, Phil, but just as you have to be precisely accurate when sending commands to a computer, so you need to be as precisely accurate and complete as possible if you want us to help you. I've just gone into the command line box, and using Alt GR (that's the Alt key on the _right_ of the space bar) combined with the key to the left of the 1, I get the broken vertical line symbol. Just as I do with shifted \ (that's the key on the left of the Z). Unless I'm greatly mistaken that's correctly interpreted by the command line interpreter as the pipe command. -- All the Best Ian Hoare http://www.souvigne.com mailbox full to avoid spam. try me at website |

OK Ian I think you have just answered my question without knowing my question
: ) You say that in the command prompt when you put in the pipe it comes up as the broken line and that is normal in the command prompt, if that is the case I don't have a problem, thank you for the help. Just doing the 70 290 and absolutely hate the command line work, but gotta get through it.
