Pass (–) through SendKeys in VBScript

Question

Can someone please help me in fixing the issue that I am getting while passing – (not a hyphen) through SendKeys in VBScript. Below is the code that I am trying:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys"(%chr(0150))"

0150 is the ASCII value for –.

The `–` is called "en dash" and is [Unicode character U+2013](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2013/index.htm), so you would normally specify it as `WshShell.SendKeys ChrW(&h2013)`. Unfortunately, while that works from VB6 and VBA, it does not work from VBScript because [`WScript.SendKeys` does not support Unicode](https://stackoverflow.com/a/23078578/11683). — GSerg, Dec 17 '18 at 09:58
So how can I use this in VBScript? Or is there another way to use it? — Sadique, Dec 17 '18 at 10:18
I need to use this code in UFT, so any help around that would be really appreciated. — Sadique, Dec 17 '18 at 10:30

@Sadique Check the second answer in the duplicate question and see if that works for you. — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Dec 17 '18 at 11:04

I used ASCII character 45 and this worked

WshShell.SendKeys ChrW(45)
