Get extended attribute

Hi,

I am facing problem to read metadata with space on my script.
I have metadata like "Business Unit". I have tried single quote and double quote sign enclosing the metadata but not working.

Please suggest me how to read these types of values.
Metadata name without space is working fine.

TS 6.7.1

Where are you facing the problem. Please elaborate. You should be able to get the value of metadata using iwextattr CLT. There shouldn't be problem whether your metadata has space or not. Can you post the exact code that you are using?

Hi,

I am using this code on Workflow external task script.
[html]
$pr_ContentCreationDate_extattr = `"$iwhome -g TeamSite/Metadata/Creation Date $filePath"`;

also tried to use

$pr_ContentCreationDate_extattr = `"$iwhome -g 'TeamSite/Metadata/Creation Date' $filePath"`;

above both format are not working...

if Metadata name is like "TeamSite/Metadata/Creation_Date" then it is working

You're putting the double-quotes in the wrong place - try:

$pr_ContentCreationDate_extattr = qx($iwhome -g "TeamSite/Metadata/Creation Date" "$filePath");

Alternatively, and especially useful if you're attempting to pull off multiple EAs at the same time - try using the '-x' flag, and then parse the results via a standard XML parser.

Thanks Adam.

Your suggested solution worked for me.
