Re: Hi how to escaping under ` ` in sh

[Wes Garland <wes@page.ca>]

Try 

`mysql -u root -pmy\\\$qlPW -N -B -e 'show databases'`

I think that's right. Escape the $ so it doesn't get processed by the current shell, escape the slash so it doesn't get processed, falls to \$ which then re-escapes the $ for passing into mysql as part of your password.

Nick is on to something as well, this should also work:

`mysql -u root -p 'my\$qlPW' -N -B -e 'show databases'`

Hi,

mysql -u root -pmy\$qlPW -N -B -e 'show databases'

gives the right output but

`mysql -u root -pmy\$qlPW -N -B -e 'show databases'`

gives

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)

I hope it is the escaping issue with $ inside ``?

How do you do that?

thanks
