Using non-ASCII characters in login scripts
If you know how to write custom scripts with non-ASCII characters, you can
incorporate the caret (^char) character, carriage returns and line feeds, and literal
characters in your custom login scripts.
Caret (^ char)
Use the caret (^ char) character 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. Thus, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You can 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 “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
You can use the backslash ( \ ) character to specify that the next character be
transmitted as a literal character, and not be subject to any special processing
ordinarily associated with that character. For example:
\^ Includes a caret as part of the string
\< Includes a < as part of the string
\\ Includes a backslash as part of the string
Plug-in applications
You can create a plug-in application containing script commands that extends the
functionality of your Acer s10’s built-in script command. A plug-in application is a
standard prc application that you install on your Acer s10 just like any other
application. After you install the plug-in application, you can use the new script
commands in a login script.
