         <<[cciug] assign string with special characters to attribute
value>>

attached mail follows:

Hi there,

has anybody an idea how to assign a string of special characters and space
characters (e.g. "a & b --> c") to an attribute (ClearCase 3.2.1, NT)?

According to the reference manual I tried out
clearcase mkattr test \"a & b --> c\" test.txt@@
as well as
clearcase mkattr test \""a & b --> c"\" test.txt@@

Both commands do not work.

Funny, because
clearcase mkattr test \"a&b-->c\" test.txt@@
does work with strings without space characters as well as
clearcase mkattr test \""a and b results in c"\" test.txt@@
does work with strings without special characters.
The combination of special characters and space characters seems to be the
problem.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Torsten
