Find a number of syntax examples for assignment of constant values and expressions.

• The Input representation of the examples corresponds to what a user types in the GUI.
• The Output representation of the examples corresponds to what is visible from the log output, e.g. using an echo command in a Shell Job.
• The JSON representation is visible when using the "Show JSON" operation from an object's action menu.

Examples for Constant Values

...

• Use with single quotes

  Input	var = 'some value'
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "'some value'"

  
  
  

• Use with double quotes

  Input	var = "some value"
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "\"some value\""

  
  
  

• Use with single quoted values

  Input	var = 'some \'quoted\' value'
  Output	some 'quoted' value
  JSON	"var": "'some \\'quoted\\' value'"

  
  
  

• Use with double quoted values

  Input	var = "some \"quoted\" value"
  Output	some "quoted" value
  JSON	"var": "\"some \\\"quoted\\\" value\""

  
  
  

• Use with double quoted and single quoted values

  Input	var = "some 'quoted' value"
  Output	some 'quoted' value
  JSON	"var": "\"some 'quoted' value\""

  
  
  

• Use with $ character from single quoted values

  Input	var = 'some $dollar value'
  Output	some $dollar value
  JSON	"var": "'some $dollar value'"

  
  
  

• Use with $ character from double quoted values

  Input	var = "some \$dollar value"
  Output	some $dollar value
  JSON	"var": "\"some \\$dollar value\""

...

• Use without quotes
  Assume var2 to hold the value: some value

  Input	var = $var2
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "$var"

  
  
  

• Use with double quotes
  Assume var2 to hold the value: some value

  Input	var = "$var2"
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "\"$var\""

  
  
  

• Use with constant values from double quoted values
  Assume var2 to hold the value: second value

  Input	var = "first value, $var2"
  Output	first value, second value
  JSON	"var": "\"first value, $var2\""

  
  
  

• Use with string concatenation from double quoted values
  Assume var2 to hold the value: second value

  Input	var = "${var2}first value"
  Output	second valuefirst value
  JSON	"var": "\"${var2}first value\""

  
  
  

• Use with constant values and single quoted values
  Assume var2 to hold the value: second value

  Input	var = "first, '$var2'"
  Output	first, 'second value'
  JSON	"var": "\"first, '$var'\""
