How to add escape (Esc) ASCII character to a text script file?

Posted on 2022-07-282022-12-06 By Alan Salihi

The following example is for a script created to run some commands (in this case: “MULTIPLE” and “POINT” command for Autodesk AutoCAD) to create mulitple coordinate points. The script should end with an Escape or Cancel input. To do so, we insert the ASCII code of the Esc character at the end of the file.
