Inserting Character Strings in an Alias
The echo command prints one or more strings of characters to the Technician
Interface console. When the Technician Interface receives the echo request, it
sends the accompanying string or strings back to the console. This command is
used primarily to accompany system responses to alias commands with
meaningful text. This section describes how to issue an
echo command and how
to insert the
echo command in an alias.
Enter the following command with one or more of the following parameters to
submit an echo request.
echo [ ["]
<string>
["] ]
<string> is any string of characters.
echo [ ["]
<string>
["] ] [ ["]
<string>
["] ] ...
Double quotes are required only when the string contains one or more spaces or
semicolons (;).
Examples:
To command the system to display a string of characters when responding to an
alias command, you insert an
echo command within the <alias_value>.
Surround each <string> within the
echo command with double quotes if the
<string> contains one or more spaces or semicolons (;). Precede each of the
double quotes surrounding the <string> with a backslash (\). If you do not use
double quotes, insert a backslash before the semicolon that separates the
echo
command from the next command.
Insert
echo \; to command the system to display blank lines between commands
within an <alias_value>.
If you enter: The console displays:
echo hi
hi
echo “IP Input Statistics:”
IP Input Statistics:
echo Hi hello “How are you?”
Hi hello How are you?
