How to put a “/” in AutoHotKey?

Question

I am trying to write a AHK script that sends text to the command prompt. When I send "ipconfig /all" this is what shows up in the command prompt "ipconfig `all". I cant get it to put the "/" in. I have tried the COMSPEC and escape characters. But still cant figure it out.

Below is my current code.

^!d:: ; Ctrl, Alt, d

Run, C:\Users\Alex Chapman\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3\02 

sleep 500

Clipboard = ipconfig /all

send, ^v

send, {Enter}

return

send ipconfig /all works4me. Might be something else in the code like SetKeydelay or SendMode or ... — wOxxOm
Thats how I am typing it. Also I am not using any SetKeydelay or SendMode — A. Chapman
Your code is working fine here (besides the Run because I don't have this file on my Windows VIsta); — Le____

These 4 ways to do it work for me:

Normal: Send ipconfig /all

Escaped: Send ipconfig `/all

Raw: SendRaw ipconfig /all

and the workaround:

clipboard=ipconfig /all
Send ^v

If you want to preserve your clipboard using the workaround you can do the following:

cbbackup:=clipboard
clipboard=ipconfig /all
Send ^v
clipboard:=cbbackup
cbbackup=
