Hello list,

after I can successfully edit pages via API function I want to send

text content with pipe characters.

It works as long this characters is not at the beginning of a line.

(but most formulars work in that way)

Leading pipe " | " sign is ignored.

My script looks like:

content="content|pipe|content

|newline

|newline"

wget ..... --post-data "action=edit&title=pagename&text=$content&token=

The result looks like:

content|pile|content

newline
newline

Can anybody help me how to quote it?

Thanks
Andreas
