I am new in bash scripting. In my work, I provide support to several users and when I connect to their computers I use the same admin and password, so I am trying to create a script that will only ask me for the IP address and then connect to the computer without having me to type the user and password.
Here's the script:
Code:
read -p "Enter ip address: " IP_ADDRESS
pss="123@456"
open vnc://test:$pss@$IP_ADDRESS
If I remove the @ from my password I am able to connect with no issue. I have tried to escape the @ by adding a backslash before the character but still not working (e.g. 123\@456). Do you guys have any suggestions?..
Thanks in advance.

It corresponds to
"chr(0xfe)" if using perl. (I've... (6 Replies)
Hi!
If I want to extract a character from a specific position of a string, I can use ${string:1:1} (if I want character at the position 1). How can I do the same thing, when the number of position is contained in the variable? ${string:$var:1}doesn't work, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance. (2 Replies)
In bash, how can one remove the last character of a string? In perl, the chop function would remove the last character. However, I do not know how to do the same job in bash.
Many thanks in advance. (12 Replies)
