Non-ASCII characters

If you know how to write custom scripts with non-ASCII characters, you can incorporate the caret (^char) character, carriage returns and line feeds, and literal characters in your custom login scripts.

•Use the caret (^ char) character to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value 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. Thus, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

•You can include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when entered in the following format:

<cr>Sends or receives a carriage return <lf>Sends or receives a line feed

For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe, followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer, before executing the next command in the script.

•You can use the backslash ( \ ) character to specify that the next character be transmitted as a literal character, and not be subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. For example:

\^Includes a caret as part of the string \<Includes a < as part of the string \\Includes a backslash as part of the string
