Appendix D
Non-ASCII Characters
for Login Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom login scripts
that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users
who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a
custom login script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If
you send ^char, and the ASCII v alue of char is between @ and _, then
the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value
between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value
between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-
byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the
character sequence is not subject to any special processing.
For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage
return.
Carriage return and line fe ed
You may include carri age return and line feed commands as p art of
the login script, when entered in the following format:
<cr> Sends or receives a carri age return
<lf> Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe
followed by a carriage ret urn and line feed from the remote compute r
before executing the next command in the script.
