I am using the ExpandMacrosEx method in a script running in the GUI. I use the following code:
Application.ExpandMacrosEx(%VAR%, vbldUndefLeave, strResult, False)
Even though I use the vbldUndefLeave as the undefTreatment parameter, the 'Enter Undefined Macro Value' dialog still appears.

If you have that code in a step field, the first thing it will do (before evaluating the script code) is expand any macros in the string. To prevent it from doing that, use double percent chars (i.e., Application.ExpandMacrosEx("%%VAR%%"...). However, that function is not actually callable from script code since it takes a non-variant in/out parameter.

I want to write to a file the contents of a variable %VAR% that contains text with special characters such as '%' and '['.
Is there a way to write to a file the literal text without variable expansion?

A run script step with this VBScript code would do it (uses the DOSCMD macro as an example):
vbld_FSO().CreateTextFile("%TEMP%\xyz.txt").Write( vbld_AllMacros()("DOSCMD").Value)
