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.
