I have a special Text Expander entry called:
",commands"

I would like to store commands in this entry, but the following command is getting broken at the pipe character:
cmd /c "echo off | clip"

It is getting cut into:
cmd /c "echo off
clip"

Is there any way to stop | from cutting my commands in half?

Thanks for reporting, will be corrected. This only happens on popups, to avoid it don't use multiple substitutes.
