Entering Text Strings; Cli Help - Avaya AP-3 User Manual

Entering Text Strings

When you enter a text string that contains spaces for a parameter, you must use a string
delimiter for the AP to correctly interpret the text string. For this CLI implementation, the single
quote or double quote character can be used at the beginning and at the end of the string.
For example:
[Device-Name]> set sysname Lobby — Does not need quote marks
[Device-Name]> set sysname "Front Lobby" — Requires quote marks.
The scenarios supported by this CLI are shown in
Table 46: Quotation Marks in CLI Commands
Example
"My Desk in the office"
'My Desk in the office'
"My 'Desk' in the office"
'My "Desk" in the office'
"Daniel's Desk in the office"
'Daniel"s Desk in the office'
The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. You must use the single
quote or double quote only for text strings that contain blank spaces. If the text string does not
contain blank spaces, then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this
section are not required.
