Hi Carl,

if your string holds any kind of valuable information, it might be best

to break it down as soon as you get in your ioc - other processes will

make sense of it without having to re-parse the information, including

caget.

xml enthusiasts please destroy my argument but I found strings more like

a convenient SMS.

Looking at your output, if you're debugging something lower level

consider a regexp (scripted, or awk if you want command line) will

probably do the job.

Hi,

I am using the command-line caget with an array of space-containing

strings. Apparently caget uses spaces to separate array elements. A

space separator causes some difficultly in this case because the

elements themselves contains spaces. For example, ...

clx39:~ $ caget -# 1 ADC00.RNGS
ADC00.RNGS                     50, 10k: -10->0
clx39:~ $ caget ADC00.RNGS

ADC00.RNGS 9 50, 10k: -10->0 50, 10k: +-5 50, 10k: 0->10 50: -6->0,

10k: -5->0 50: +-3, 10k: +-2.5 50, 10k: 0->5 50: -5->0, 10k: -2->0 50:

+-2.5, 10k: +-1 50: 0->5, 10k: 0->2

clx39:~ $

One can ask for specific elements as I have done, but that is a little

bit inconvenient. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Carl Schumann
