NSH Script Argument containing special character

Marian Knotek Mar 21, 2013 2:58 PM

Hi guys,

I have nsh script for windows with argument containing pipe, e.g: value1|value2.

However whenever I try to pass this argument into the script by usual means:

set variable=%argument

I get message: value2 is not recognized as internal or external commands.

How could this be overcome so that I can use special characters in parameters?

Marian

change your command to:

set var="value1|value2"

Also try to use Escape character:

^ Escape character.
Adding the escape character before a command symbol allows it to be treated as ordinary text.
When any of these charcters you should prefix with the escape character: \ & | > < ^
e.g. ^\ ^& ^| ^> ^< ^^
