[wix-users] Meaning of ^ symbol in Wix Custom Action Value attribute

[Russell Haley]

In CMD shell ^ is a ‎multiline delimiter. That would make sense in a custom action. It will replace newlines with spaces so perhaps would guarantee proper spacing between parameters?

Hope that helps,
Russ

^ has no meaning in MSI. I suspect they were using it as a delimiter.

I saw a CustomAction element which had a symbol ^ in its Value attribute,
like below.

<CustomAction Id="CustAxn1" Property="[MY_PROPERTY]" HideTarget="no"
Value="[%ComputerName]^[PROPERTY1]^[ PROPERTY2 ]" />

Can anyone please explain what is the significance of the symbol ^ ?
