Appendix C

Non-ASCII Characters

for Login Scripts

The following information enables you to create custom login scripts

that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users

who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a

custom login script.

Use of ^char

You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If

you send ^

char

, and the ASCII value of

char

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 char is a value

between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-

byte value between 1 and 26. If char 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 login script, when entered in the following format:

■

<cr>

Sends or receives a carriage return

■

<lf>

Sends or receives a line feed

For example, the string “waitfor 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

transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special

processing ordinarily associated with that character.
