Comments in Script Files |
Top Previous Next |
Either a semi-colon or an asterisk may be used to denote the beginning of a comment in a Robo-FTP script file. A comment may be a separate line unto itself or be on the same line as a command.
Consider the following examples of valid script file comments.
; Log on to an FTP site
* this is a comment line MESSAGEBOX "hello world" DIALNET "My Connection" ;; use Dial-Up Networking
Any text appearing after a semi-colon or asterisk character on a line is a comment. Consider the following example:
FTPLOGON "192.168.1.15" /user=Robo /pw=secr*t /servertype=FTPS
The line above would fail because the password contains an asterisk so the command parser will treat the remainder of the line as a comment. The issue may be resolved by using quotes as follows:
FTPLOGON "192.168.1.15" /user=Robo /pw="secr*t" /servertype=FTPS
