Escape characters for string variables

FormerMember

I'm trying to build a config change template, but running into the following issue:

I defined a string variable as follows:

string @command1 = 'copy tftp://1.1.1.1/telecom/file1 flash:/telecom/file1'

When I execute the script, the command is expanded as follows:

copy tftp://1.1.1.1 elecom/fil1 flash: elecom/file1

So, it seems that "/t" gets expanded as a space.

I know that at least one other user has seen this issue: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/45697

Any workarounds?

Hi jakinne,

You may have received the answer from our support already -- the only workaroud is using upper case, i.e.

string @command1 = 'copy tftp://1.1.1.1/Telecom/file1 flash:/Telecom/file1'

Of course that will only work if the command / file system is not case sensitive.

Regards,

Jiri
