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 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 of character 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 character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If 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 log-in script, when they are entered in the following format.

•<cr> : Sends or receives a carriage return

•<lf> : Sends or receives a line feed

For example, the string “wait for 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
