#370 - 1999-09-01 03:30 AM Hidden share (ending by $)
Anonymous

I need for security reasons to connect to an hidden share with Kixtart (16 or 32). But when the user logs in, all lines are processed but the one caontaining a $.

For example, in the following script, line 1 & 3 will be processed, but not line 2 :

USE \\SERVER\SHAREA
USE \\SERVER\SHAREB$
USE \\SERVER\SHAREC

Is this a limitation of Kixtart, and if so, is there a workaround for this ?

Thanks in advance.

Stephane.

I often find that if you pre-assemble the path using variables this should allow the use of $ for a hidden share as shown in the example:

use x: "$ServerName\$ShareName$"

The character $ is normally used to indicate macros, environment strings, or variables. In your case, the $ is in a string, so you have to use $$, which is :

USE \\SERVER\SHAREB$$
