Guidelines to Quote Strings Containing Special Characters When Using 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 marks)
  • ' (single quotation marks)
  • ` (back quotation marks)
  • \ (backslash)
  • ~ (tilde)
  • ; (semicolon)
  • | (vertical bar)
  • ( (left parentheses)
  • ) (right parentheses)
  • & (ampersand)
  • > (greater than)
  • < (less than)
  • # (pound)
  • ASCII code 32 (space)
  • NOTE: The - (dash) character cannot be the first character of the string, regardless of whether the string is quoted.

There are different escaping rules for using single quotation mark and double quotation marks.

For double quoting:

The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:

  • $ (dollar sign)
  • " (double quotation marks)
  • ' (single quotation marks)
  • ` (back quotation marks)
  • \ (backslash)

For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \.

For single quotation marks:

  • No character escaping is necessary.
  • A single quotation mark cannot be used even with a backslash escaped.
  • NOTE: An empty string may be specified as either "" (using double quotation marks) or '' (using single quotation mark).
