Non-ASCII Characters for Log in Scripts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following information enables you to create custom log in scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is

Operating

 

 

provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log

 

 

in script.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

￿

Use of ^char:

 

 

 

 

You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value

 

 

 

 

CLIE

 

 

 

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 the character 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 feed:

 

 

 

 

 

You may 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.

 

 

 

 

 

Literal characters:

 

 

 

 

 

The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not

 

 

 

 

subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. Examples:

 

 

 

 

 

￿

\^ : Includes a caret as part of the string

 

 

 

 

 

\< : Includes a < as part of the string

 

 

 

 

 

 

\\ : Includes a backslash as part of the string.
