iRule problem with concatenation output

Hi DevCentral,

 

I have a question for you, How i can save in a variable the result of three variables separated by the character ; without any truncate issue ( i need to save it in a cookie that i expect to be like the following pattern : " Cookie abc Value: variable1;variable2;variable3) If I use the following syntax:

 

set printout "$variable1;$variable2;$variable3"

 

and then save the value in a cookie created by the F5, the result save only the first variable of the $printout maybe because the character " ; " was not passed as a string.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

M.

    Hello, maybe you can use "set" or "append" first and then printout the result? Or use escaping of the ";"? Jozef

    you could try 

    set printout [URI::encode "${variable1};${variable2};${variable3}"]
    and see if that helps. Not sure if the browser will decode the value or not though by default. (The brackets ensure your variable name isn't getting caught up with characters that appear directly after it)
