Re: [MACTCL] Set value via switch command is not working

[Charles H. <he...@ll...>]

Hi Robert,
Ok, I tried to escape the "!" ands that works. Thanks!

Now, is there someway I could escape this and any other characters that 
might cause this in my switch statement so users of the script would 
not need to know this?

Thanks,

- Charles
