Local fix

Problem summary

• Problem : Forward-slash in text of a PowerBuilder combobox
  item splits the item into multiple rows for verification
  points
  Solution : '/' character is the delimiter for the for
  powerbuilder data. We replace this character  with a new
  line ( '\n' and '\r' ) before sending it to the comparator.
  Here in this case the data itself is having the
  Forward-slash character in it and when we parse it the same
  will be treated as a delimiter. Added logic to skip if '/'
  found as part of the data
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed the issue and now Robot will be able to pick '/'
  character that comes as part of the Powerbuilder Data
  

Temporary fix
