I'm not an expert here but could you put the / in twice. As
yebo//12345678&yebo If chat is interpreting the / as an escape character,
my experience with most programming languages is to put the escape character
in twice and the compiler will interpret it as ONE literal character.
Not sure if that'll help but it might.
