variable used "after macos and packages are installed" is inside quotes

[Dustin Nikles]

Using a variable after MacOS and packages are installed adds single quotes to the variable. If I enter 12345 for the value, it is returned as '12345'

I checked this and quoting seems to work as expected. Can you give an example of how it is causing issues?

[Dustin Nikles]

I still see this issue.

have this in my script: echo $mds_var1 > /var/db/.assetTag

after an install get this result:

\$ cat .assetTag

'12345'

Used MDS 1.7 build 12254

Same issue if I have the script run before instead of after as well. I’ll soon test if I don’t erase & install

[Dustin Nikles]

Same issue if not erasing… so why am I seeing quotes added and you do not? Or are you telling me adding quotes around the value is an expected behavior?

[timothy perfitt]

I’ll test again.

Resolved in the latest 1.8 build. Thank you!
