% char in menu
 

I know It'll sound as a stupid question but How can i show the % character in a menu? I Tried escaping It with ^% or Just passing % directly and didn't work

menu_additem( hMenu, "test %", "", 0 );
menu_additem( hMenu, "test ^%", "", 0 );

This is the answer, thanks.

The code that you actually posted shouldn't have any issues because that function doesn't do any formatting. If it really is having that issue, it is a bug. If you are using a function that is actually formatting a string (e.g. format() or formatex()) then %% is the proper solution.

So, if "menu_additem( hMenu, "test %", "", 0 );" doesn't work, you need to report it as a bug.

If you are using format or formatex, you should update your original post to show that because as it stands this thread doesn't make any sense.

+1
menu_additem(hItem, "test %") works properly. Next time you should post the actual code that you have issues with.

You're right, i'm using formatex as answered previously to jocAnis but i should've said in the First post.

Thanks everyone.

While we are here, is there a way to show % from a .txt file?

The question doesn't make sense. What are you trying to do? Also better open another topic and provide more info, it's really a different question.
