curl - Nested quotation marks in "do shell script"-command cause error -


i'm running curl shell script (indesign) extendscript jsx-file.

this works simple queries, in command below can see i'm having quite quotation nesting, seem making command fail! it's not throwing errors, wordpress-post not being changed!

var command = 'do shell script "curl -x put -h \'content-type: application/json\' -d \' { \'title\': \'blub\', \'content_raw\': \'updated post content\' } \' -u username:password http://website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/cpt/12/"'; var response = app.doscript(command, scriptlanguage.applescript_language);

when write throws error, because of false quotations:

var command = 'do shell script "curl -x put -h \"content-type: application/json\" -d \" { \"title\": \"blub\", \"content_raw\": \"updated post content\" } \" -u admin:password http://seebook.dev/wp-json/wp/v2/calendar/12/"';

when run command directly in terminal, works...

curl -x put -h "content-type: application/json" -d " { \"title\": \"updates title\", \"content_raw\": \"updated post content\" } " -u username:password http://website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/cpt/12/

so version:

var command = 'do shell script "curl -x put -h \"content-type: application/json\" -d \" { \'title\': \'blub\', \'content_raw\': \'updated post content\' } \" -u username:password http://website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/cpt/12/"';

how can write query, works?

i guess that's quite noob question, i've never had such situation before...

all best, lukas

try this, outer quotes must double quotes, content-type part enclosed in single quotes , query created quoted form of expression

set query "{ \"title\": \"updates title\", \"content_raw\": \"updated post content\" }" shell script "curl -x put -h 'content-type: application/json' -d " & quoted form of query & " -u username:password http://website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/cpt/12/"

css - Make div keyboard-scrollable in jQuery Mobile? -

from can tell, although jquery-mobile-powered pages can contain divs overflow set scroll or auto, , these divs can scrolled one-screen bar or mouse wheel, cannot scrolled using arrow keys, page-up/page-down, or home/end. instead, official "page" div (with data-role="page") absorbs input. perhaps other divs can't acquire focus, i'm not sure. is there way around this? edit: jsfiddle of simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/qogz0shx/ <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile.min.js"> </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.css"/> <style> #outer { overflow:scroll; height: 50vh; width: 50vw; } #inner { height: 500vh; width: 500vw; } ...
