Full Version: Setting goto with whitespace?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello!

I'm trying to configure iPXE to do certain things when it detects a certain model device. For this purpose i'm using the ${product} variable.

For example, I'd implement something like:

Quote:goto ${product} || goto continue

:Lenovo T400S
do_something_here
goto continue

:continue
do_other_stuff_here

For this example if I PXEboot a T400, iPXE would read the ${product} variable and then goes to the label for the T400. If I PXEboot anything else it would just goto the continue label instead.

The problem is that I don't think that the label accepts whitespaces. I've tried implementing this instead:

Quote:set t400 Lenovo T400s
goto ${product} || goto continue

:${t400}
do_something_here
goto continue

:continue
do_other_stuff_here

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either.

Does anyone have any hints as to what I'm currently doing wrong here?
goto only takes one argument, since you have a space it becomes 2.

Maybe you can use goto ${product:uristring} instead. (and then use %20 in the label line)
And as an last restort you can use ${product:hexraw} instead.

But reading the sources, Only space should be an separator in the label so uristring hack should work.
