Same with the third one. The second one has two = signs, the first of which might mark the end of the variable name, or be embedded in it, so you'd have to try both ways. -- Ronan Flood <usenet(a)umbral.org.uk>
From: swpa on 18 Sep 2009 06:59 I do appreciate the help and assistance. Thank you. Yes, the 2620xm always worked just I got the "out of room in table" and other errors scrolling up on the console constantly that is a bit irritating while working with the router. I was able to remove most of that and just left with these garbage variables in the buffer. As for ctrl V, when I do that it just seems to escape on the line I am typing and CR to another prompt without doing anything. I could live with the router like this, but if I put this back on Ebay for sale then someone is going to come back to me about garbage in the rommon. The person I bought it from basically blew me off and not real helpful. I was able to get some of this sorted out with help from here and my own trial and error. If I can't resolve this I will probable just scrap the router when I am done with it. As for this line 2Y/tge,/r-KO|A8[~;n85+!=0c/f$}o.PL#1V~~FDcV^qg1[C%|^SlA[B6`:lW]28}k<G3yRH*VE}+bhY? cN?d}6>>8su9m/zDs$j)XZEy3.m~WbuI I tried top put some quotes around some of the string but says it is not found. Up to which part in the string is considered the whole variable is what I can't figure out. I tried doing character by character but for the most part get not found or redirect not support at this level. If I can figure out how to manipulate the characters and use the right syntax in the string it should probably go away. / | ; ! $ , Again thanks.

You could also try putting the whole string in quotes, try single and double. Unix uses the backslash as the escape character. for xyz|abc try xyz\|abc or xyz^V|abc where ^V is press and hold ctrl press and release the V key release ctrl key or "xyz|abc" or 'xyz|abc' Since the prompt is >, I doubt it is a special character. Easy to test? In unix $ is used to indicate variables in commands. i.e. - roughly -- I forget the details exactly now. set abc fred echo $abc is how the $ might be used. Is the box working now that some of the garbage is gone?
From: swpa on 18 Sep 2009 07:03 Thank you I will try this later when I can get some quality playtime in the lab. I was doing an actual Ctrl. Sorry I am not much of a Linux/Application type I work mostly with Windows and have little Unix or scripting type abilities. I will be sure to let you know what happens. I deeply appreciate the help. Of all the lab routers and switches I got from Ebay this was really the only problem child and seller I came across. Thank you.

I have had no luck it clearing out the remaining garbage, can't find the right syntax. I tried anything and everything and just does not recognize the string with the the unset command.
