Complete list of characters that need to be escaped?

Hi,

I can't seem to find that full list of characters that need to be escaped in strings.

So far I have found the following in the NSIS documentation and NSIS wiki page:


` -> $\`
$ -> $$
\n -> $\n
\t -> $\t
\r -> $\r


Are there any others? And how you escape them?

afaik there are no more.

the ones above are the only ones mentioned in the docs and thus i guess they are the only ones.

What about the following characters?

: * ? < > |

I am asking because I need to test that a certain string does not contain any of there characters.
