Guest Agent Pass Variable with spaces

[sharptonm]

I am hoping someone can confirm what I am suspecting.  It appears you cannot pass a variable with spaces in it to Guest agent to run a batch.

I have a build profile in vCAC 6.1.1, in which the variable has a space in it.  The space is lost when the script runs even when quoted.  Variablewithspaces = thiswillbreak after spaces

c:\somescripttoechotoafile.cmd "{Variablewithspaces}"

I am simply echoing into a file to see what happens, thiswillbreak is all that is written to the test file.  Anyone ran into this before?

Not tried this but have you tried escaping the spaces?

e.g,

"thiswillbreak\ after\ spaces"

Since the vRA appliance is built on Java & Linux tech this might work....
