[U-Boot-Users] duplicate environment variables in U-Boot? (full log)

Hello, again...
I forgot to attach the full log to help you to get an idea of what I mean. Some of the 'Unknown commands' should be known, actually.
Best regards,

I'm afraid this "log" is useless, too. Obviously it was captured by copy & paste from a console window (visible for example by the wrapped long lines). You will never see any control characters or escape sequences this way.

I know exactly, what you mean... I had no time/chance yet to get a binary log of the data. Maybe it would be a good idea to either ignore control characters in the environment or show (escape) them properly? If I have these duplicate values, I cannot delete them afterwards (without an binary dump of my terminal) and... if I wrote them to flash occasionally... well, ok, I don't see any high priority here. It's just a little annoying.

I'm not sure if I want to do this.

Yes, I understand. But then - maybe one day command line history gets added, and then escape sequences will have to be interpreted anyway.

Hi Clemens,

Just for the records - for environments in flash the "md" command is of course your friend to see what special characters crept into the variable names. Other environment storage locations are left to the reader as an excercise. Note that this is only possible because the environment is saved in such an "unefficient way".
