How to escape | in a prompt?

Set SHOWFILTERFILENAME={dlgstringS|Specify files to show - e.g. 199(7|8|9)|"*"}

I tried to escape the pipe character | using a backslash, as shown, and also a single quote. No joy with either. Is there a way?

Put the string in quotes:

Set SHOWFILTERFILENAME={dlgstringS|"Specify files To show - e.g. 199(7|8|9)"|"*"}

Thanks. So simple.... :smiley:
