Re: caget pv with a space

[Ron Sluiter <sluiter@aps.anl.gov>]

Avoiding embedded spaces goes for EPICS thread/task names also.
I don't know if this is still the case, but with earlier versions of VxWorks (e.g., 5.4.x) and the Tornado IDE, an embedded space in a task name would crash the source-code debugger.

Don't use a space in the name.

There are numerous clients that are not going to handle that correctly.

I also believe that dblinks (links from one record to another) do not support this.

Hi everyone,

   I have a small question.
   I have a pv named "Encode distance". It has a space in it, when I use the caget command.
   I got the Encode value and distance value.
   How I could do get the only value of the Encode distance ?
