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 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 the 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 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 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.
