How to sanitize the options in a user-input request box

Is there a way to make the options within a user-input pop-up not effect the pop-up box itself? for example: origonal code: ?{which one?|Option 1, %{selected|repeating_option-0_$0_spell}| Option 2, %{selected|repeating_option-0_$1_spell}} the problem as I see it is that the pike from "%{selected|repeating_option-0_$0_spell}" is acting as pike within the "?{which one?|A, B| C, D}" pop-up box. it should be noted that the code for %{selected|repeating_option-0_$0_spell} is listed below: &{template:default} {{name=Test Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20]]}} {{damage=[[2d6]]}}

Basically, you need to replace some of the } with html entities to allow it to work correctly. &nbsp;There's some info about it here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Troubleshooting" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Troubleshooting</a> Hopefully Scott C. or Silvyre stop by and help with this...

also any , or | have to be replaced.&nbsp; secondly, if at least one MUST be picked, i find it easier to put as little as possible in the query. Maybe just the $0 or $1 if you can, then put the %{selected|repeating_option-0_ &nbsp;and _spell at the beginning and end of the query so you only type it once.

Thank you guys for the partial work-around, in that all of the sub-macros need to have their "problem characters" substituted out for the HTML codes &{template:default} {{name=Test Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20]]}} {{damage=[[2d6]]}} } -&gt; & # 1 2 5 ; [without spaces] is there a way to do it from outside of those blocks of code though, as that will require the recoding of many blocks for that work around to work. Is there a way to sanatize the arguements of the pop-up box and results from the pop-up box side. or must every called option be changed to allow it to be called from a user input box?

ste p. said: is there a way to do it from outside of those blocks of code though Not with Roll Queries. For handling lists of spells, I highly suggest writing a menu of Command Buttons .

This is all basically a hack that the community has come up with to work around the limitations in the component as originally written. &nbsp;There isn't really an easy way to do it as far as I know. &nbsp;The API, a pro subscriber perk, can do a bunch of the work for you, but short of that there's no silver bullets.

For handling lists of spells, I highly suggest writing a menu of Command Buttons . That's my method now. If you buy one of the things I sell, that's how the 'Monster Spellcasters' will run.
