- Thread-topic: Trouble escaping @
I’m trying to automatically mount a webdav share but am having difficulty
escaping a @ in the password.
property username : "superuser"
property pass : "Bl@ckberry"
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "http://"; & username & ":" & pass & "@servername:5100/content/dam"
end tell
I get the error: there was a problem connection to the server
ckberry@servername.
As might be expected, it treats the first @ in the password as the start of the
server name.
When connecting manually in “Connect to Server” I’d use a hex code @ ‘escape’
the @ like this…
http://superuser:Bl@ckberry@servername:5100/content/dam
…something similar in Applescript just converts the @ directly to @ with the
same result.
Programmatically in other environments I’d use a backslash to escape reserved
characters, but I’ve tried a double, triple, quadruple, etc. backslash and
can’t get it to work. With any odd number of backslash, I get the error at
compile
expected “”” but found unknown token.
Any even number of backslashes results in the same results as if using @ or @.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
