mix Variables and Parameters in custom typing macro

Hi,

is it somehow possible to mix Variables and Parameters in a typing Macro?

e.g. I create a new Typing Macro with the following content:

!NOW ECHOING dollarUSERNAMEdollar
!$USERNAME$
!NOW ECHOING dollarPASSWORDdollar
!$PASSWORD$
!NOW ECHOING bracket1bracket
!{1}
!NOW ECHOING bracket2bracket
!{2}

$USERNAME$ and $PASSWORD$ should be the user/pass from the device im currently running the macro on, {1} & {2} should be the Parameters form the macro itself.

In this case it should be as following:

$USERNAME$=test

$PASSWORD$=test1234

{1}=Parameter1

{2}=Parameter2

The device I'm testing on has Properties -> Security -> Security Settings -> "Allow password in variable" enabled.

Now comes the fun part, as the result differs based on how it's run:

• 1. try:

Open the session normally, then switching back to "Dashboard" (of the selected device), then go to tab "Macros/Scripts/Tools" and select the macro from above. Output:

COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarUSERNAMEdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!test
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarPASSWORDdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!$PASSWORD$
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket1bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!Parameter1
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket2bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!Parameter2

so everything except $PASSWORD$ works.

• 2. try:

Open the session normally, then right click the host in the navigation pane, press "Execute Macro/Script in Terminal", select the Macro from above. Output:

COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarUSERNAMEdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!test
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarPASSWORDdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!test1234
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket1bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!{1}
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket2bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!{2}

so now both variables work but the Parameters don't.

• 3. try:

Open the session normally, then right click the host in the navigation pane, press "Macros/Scripts/Tools", select the Macro from above. Output is the same as in the first try:

COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarUSERNAMEdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!test
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING dollarPASSWORDdollar
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!$PASSWORD$
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket1bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!Parameter1
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket2bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!Parameter2
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!NOW ECHOING bracket3bracket
COSWI0229_LAB_RACK_3560#!

Any idea if it's possible to mix those somehow?

Currenlty running "2024.1.23.0 64-bit".

Thanks!
