Forums Scripts & Popups Remote topic copy Script

I created a very simple script to copy topic changes from one channel on one network to another channel on a separate network, but I'm having issues when the original topic contains this character: |

Here is the script in question:

on username:TOPIC:#originalchannel: {
/scon 1 /topic #newchannel $1-
/scon 1 /msg #newchannel $1-
}

This should work just fine but that character "|" makes it try it as though everything after that is a new command...

* Freebird changes topic to 'Welcome! | Main Website Link | Discussion Boards Link | '

changes the topic in the secondary channel to be 'Welcome!' and gives two errors in the Status of the other network.

TLDR: how do I stop | from meaning its a separate command?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

You should not pass unknown input to the scon command, it's evaluated and can be used to gain control of your system.

I am asking how any commands or identifiers can be removed. I am just looking to mimic the topic from one channel to another that crosses servers automatically.

That's what I gave you. You quoted it.

I am so sorry, I did not even notice the difference in code. Thank you for your help I do appreciate it
