RACADM Commands
When using strings that contain special characters, use the following guidelines:
Strings containing the following special characters must be quoted using single quotation marks or double quotation marks:
• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quotation mark)
• ' (single quotation mark)
• ` (backward quotation mark)
• \ (backward slash)
• ~ (tilde)
• | (vertical bar)
• ( (left parentheses)
• ) (right parentheses)
• & (ampersand)
• > (greater than)
• < (less than)
• # (pound)
• ASCII code 32 (space)
There are dierent escaping rules for using single quotation marks versus double quotation marks.
For using double quotation marks:
The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backward slash:
• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quotation mark)
• ` (back quotation mark)
For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \
For using single quotation marks:
• No character escaping is necessary.
• A single quotation mark is not used even with a backward slash escaped.
NOTE: An empty string may be specied as either ” “(using double quotation marks) or ' '(using single quotation marks).
