Re: [U-Boot] hashtable lib and escaping

Dear Mats Kärrman,

If not correct, then what is this supposed to mean (common/main.c :: builtin_run_command()):

/*
 * Find separator, or string end
 * Allow simple escape of ';' by writing "\;"
 */

As I metioned, this is the _second_ part of escaping, that which happens when processing the commands. The first part happens when reading the environment.

The examples I gave should show pretty well how it works:

...

See here:

    => setenv foo 'echo part one\;echo part two' ; print foo ; run > foo
    foo=echo part one;echo part two
    part one
    part two
    => setenv foo 'echo part one\\;echo part two' ; print foo ; run>  foo
    foo=echo part one\;echo part two
    part one;echo part two
    =>

Here is one more:

=> setenv foo echo part one\;echo part two ; print foo ; run foo foo=echo part one;echo part two part one;echo part two =>

Best regards,
