symmaskdb list assignment question? Multiple Dev's

I get the following:

Invalid number of keywords. Running symcli 6.5

Can you try the following command ??

symmaskdb list assignment -dev xx1,xx2,xx3

I was simply trying .. I don't have symcli available right now :-/

I'll dig a little and come back to you asap...

I hope you don't have symdevs xx1 xx2 and xx3 in your DMX ..

Replace xx1,xx2,xx3 with appropriate devices you want to show in the output.

symmaskdb list assignment -dev xx1,xx2,xx3


Then i get invalid number of keywords error message.

Hah.. Not listing the customers real devices on public forum, that is just for here, I am using real valid devices and getting that error message.

This is the error you get if you were to use xxx..

symmaskdb list assignment -dev xxx
device string contains a non-hex value

Straight from S.E. 6.5. manuals ...

symmaskdb -sid SymmID [-v] list assignment
    -dev SymDevStart:SymDevEnd | SymDevName | SymDevName,SymDevName...

You can either specify a single dev( xxx), a range (xxx:yyy) or even a list of devices (xxx,yyy,zzz)

Can you please paste exact command line you issued ??

Oh BTW since this thread deals with solution enabler commands, I'm moving the thread at a better location within a few minutes ..
And I'm also moving home ... thus I'll be back later, after my dinner

I am using real devices that exist on the dmx, same ones from any normal symdev list output command.

That's why I asked to see actual command line ...

symdev is a single word of 4 hex digits ... I can't understand what you are using as "symdev" in your command line if you don't show us the actual command line

Oh BTW showing symdevs isn't an issue. At least in my opinion

Unfortunatly I don't have access to a host where I can issue symcli commands .. I'll try again tomorrow...

Thanks for your help I was inputing the command correctly and yet still getting the error message... Found problem / solution.

The issue I failed to mention was I was using Powershell not the command prompt. In power shell that same command has to be issued like this.

symmaskdb list assignment -dev "xxx1,xx2,xx3"

including the quotation marks, silly I know but powershell handles inputs differently than command prompt.

In the normal command prompt mode the normal command works without quotations as follows:

symmaskdb list assignment -dev xxx1,xx2,xx3

Eheheheheh
I guess you are right .. Probably powershell parses commandline before sending args to the command itself .. and makes strange changes to the line you entered ...

I'm glad you fixed your issue .. unfortunatly I never used a "powershell" .. I prefer bash
