Hi Carl,

You can modify caget to put quotes around strings (and escape quotes in the string -- and escape escape characters).

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
