Special Character Support

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I have searched and searched and I have not been able to find a answer yet so I was hoping maybe someone around here knows where I can find a list of unsupported special characters or is there a way that I need to escape them to be used.

I noticed if I wanted to say use an $ in a password that it would break in the cli. I was curious what other characters the system would do that with and what they were or am I needed to escape it some how. I tried using $ but that too was not valid.

This would be regarding RouterOS6.

Sometimes you have also to escape the escape. Try \$

From the manual: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/User#User-RouterUsers

name (string; Default: )
User name. Although it must start with an alphanumeric character, it may contain “*”, “_”, “.” and “@” symbols.

password (string; Default: )
User password. If not specified, it is left blank (hit [Enter] when logging in). It conforms to standard Unix characteristics of passwords and may contain letters, digits, “*” and “_” symbols.

You have to put password=“1234/$”, needs the “”.

Thanks for the info

Kind Regards
