Problem with "Send Email" when Body contains text with percent sign

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

 I recently found what I consider a bug.  I load the value of a FinalBuilder variable (I called the variable SvnLogOutput) with the comment from the last SVN checkin.  Recently this comment happened to contain a percent sign in the text (because the check-in fixed a problem with a printf() and referred to "%d".)  This caused the "Send Email" action to fail because the variable (SvnLogOutput) that contained the text of the comment had a percent sign in it and this variable was included in the "Body" of the action.  The error is "Unable to Set Body / Missing % after :d."  Thanks for any help in avoiding this issue.

Hi Russell

This is because variable expansion in FinalBuilder is Recursive by default. You can override this behavior :
