While setting the text c:\test\test.txt is getting replaced as c:#test#test.txt, It should set as c:\test\test.txt.

Please help me.

Did you try double slashes? \\

Or try single forward slashes /

(Yes, in most circumstances Windows accepts forward slashes in paths)

I tried c:\test\test.txt and c:/test/test.txt but same issue

4

Try c:\\test\\test.txt

We tested on Notepad++ and could not reproduce the issue. Here is the capturing video:

Script:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findWindowsObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.windows.keyword.WindowsBuiltinKeywords as Windows

Windows.startApplicationWithTitle('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe', '')

Windows.setText(findWindowsObject('Object Repository/Pane'), 'c:\\test\\test.txt')

Knowledge:
SetText keyword is equivalent to entering the given text using the current keyboard mechanism

Advice:
If your language keyboard settings (on the Windows machine) is not English. Please change it to English.
If you are using any input method editor software. Please turn it off.
