> The single quote is removed by the shell (assuming you using *nix). I'm really not talking about the input to the shell but the input to snmptrapd. In one case it got a string and in the other case a string and an integer. It could tell the difference. But the distinction was lost in the output it generated. The reason for the $'...' is that this allows me to enter characters such as tab and newline, which are used to separate arguments in other forms of snmptrapd output. The result is that, as far as I can tell, there is no set of arguments that can be passed to snmptrapd that will always allow the input to be reconstructed from the output. > You will need to put in the backslashes yourself so it is passed as > one argument: > snmptrap -v 1 -c private 10.0.0.1 TRAP-TEST-MIB::asante 10.0.0.1 6117 '' > SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 s $\'XXX, iso.2.3.4 = INTEGER: 1234\' My goal is not to put a ' into the output file. My goal is to be able to determine what arguments were actually sent to snmptrapd. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list Net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
