pass underscore to telnet session

[MrsMopey]

Does anyone know how to pass an underscore to a telnet session? right now I have in my code:

<!--textResult.value = ("SHUT\_USER " ) + (textCoNo.value)+ (textUInit.value);-->

but it displays on the telnet sessions as :

(volmrs)# SHUT _USER

Underscores do not need escaping in JavaScript. Remove the leading backslash.

Hope this helps,

Yes that is what I started with and I still had the square in front, that's why I tried the escape character. I also tried to use the HTML character name(because my page is HTML with a javascript), but that didn't work either.

How are you passing the data to telnet?

I am using active socket here is the function:

function Receive ()
					{
						while ( objSocket.HasData () == -1 )
					{
						textReceive.value = textReceive.value + objSocket.ReceiveString ();
					}

						setTimeout("Receive()",1000);
					}

					function Init ()
					{
						Receive ();
						objSocket.Protocol = objConst.asSOCKET_PROTOCOL_TELNET;
						objSocket.Connect ( "volmrs", "23" );
						textResult.value = "CONNECT:" + objSocket.LastError + " (" +objSocket.GetErrorDescription ( objSocket.LastError ) +")";

					}

					function Send ()
					{
						objSocket.SendString ( "root" )
						objSocket.Sleep (500);
						objSocket.SendString ( "mci" );
						objSocket.Sleep (500);

						var strString = ("shut_user ") + (textCoNo.value) + (textUInit.value);
						objSocket.SendString (strString);
						textResult.value = "SEND:" + objSocket.LastError + " (" + objSocket.GetErrorDescription ( objSocket.LastError ) + ")";
					}

					function Disconnect ()
					{
						objSocket.Disconnect ();

						textResult.value = "DISCONNECT:" + objSocket.LastError + " (" + objSocket.GetErrorDescription ( objSocket.LastError ) + ")";
					}

Before this line:

objSocket.SendString (strString);

if you alert "strString", do you see what you expect?

If so, then you might need to ask somewhere more relevant to whatever "objSocket" is...
