Hi,
single quotes, double quotes, escaping with
\ or
^ or
^\ or
\^
does not work.
echo localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:7Ug^\>uAks!{VA > %PGPASSFILE% does not escape the “>”-symbol.
echo "localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:7Ug^>uAks!{VA" > %PGPASSFILE% does not work, because psql seems not to understand the pgconf-file, does not check the file for a password and give me a pw prompt.
Best regards
Hendrik

Hi,
You can use below command to get the desired output.
echo localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:7Ug^\>uAks!{VA > %PGPASSFILE%
or
echo "localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:7Ug^>uAks!{VA" > %PGPASSFILE%

Hi,
i want to modiy the adatabse via batch script. The user has a password that contains symbols like that “g>uAks!”. The problem here is the “greater than”-symbol.
call set PGPASSFILE=%TEMP%\pgpass.conf
echo localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:7Ug^>uAks!{VA > %PGPASSFILE%
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin\psql" -U postgres
psql will always fail with FATAL: User-Athentification failed. The password was read from ..\Local\Temp\pgpass.conf
If I set a Enviromentvariable and “echo” it, it will not work, because of the >-symbol.
C:\Users\hschenk>set PGPASSWORD=lalal>lala
C:\Users\hschenk>echo %PGPASSWORD%
Lalal
How can I use this with a password like this?
