HELP: How to draft the macro script if layers contain ''_" & "-"

I am using the particular macro to isolate a particular layer but i think ''_" & "-" is giving it problems.

This is the layer i need to isolate

"XXXXX$0$A-_ANOTREVN_E-"

There are other layers similar where XXXXX is the variable, which i want to isolate hence it use * as a wildcard

But there is also another layer "A-_ANOTREVN_E-" where i want it to be excluded from the script.

How then should I draft it?

this is the script i use:-

^C^C-LA;off;*;y;on;*$0$A-_ANOTREVN_E-,*DIS*;^C^C_zoom;e;

Any suggestion? Or it cannot be done?

Commands used in macro's can give unexpected results when you try and enter text values, it works from within a script file (for other commands scripts can be a problem) sometimes it's worth trying both ways. If you place the script in the file search path you can run it from a macro, or you need to include the full path (but again that can cause problems).

Try this as a script

layer
off
*
y
on
*$0$A-_ANOTREVN_E-,*DIS*

_zoom
e
