Hi,In general I would second Andrew's statement. Looping over CA command line tool calls would be bad behaviour in terms of CA.
I have to admit, though, that arrays of strings with embedded spaces break one of the command line tools' underlying ideas: caput understands the caget return value of the same PV.
So, an command line option to change the separator could be a feasible solution, or quoting those strings, or both. Any preferences?
