script

I have a tiny LUA script which is supposed to disable call forwarding:

require 'android'

android.dialNumber('*21#')

The problem is that the script only dials '*21' and omits the '#' character. Playing around It looks to me like the # character is treated as comment character as everything after it is ignored. I've tried singel and double quotes, escaping, \023, but nothing works.

How can I dial '*21#' on android with LUA ?
