Setting goto with whitespace? - perestroika - 2015-07-13 02:11
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.
