How to use # in linux terminal command

Question

One of the character in my password contains # symbol. Due this, the shell omit rest of the command after # symbol. For example I have executed the following command in terminal,

fabric-ca-client enroll -u "https://admin:#D******9@ca.m-zzz.n-zzzz.managedblockchain.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:30002" --tls.certfiles /home/ec2-user/managedblockchain-tls-chain.pem -M /home/ec2-user/admin-msp

Due to # symbol in the password, I am getting the following error,

Error: Failed to create default configuration file: No username and password provided as part of the Fabric CA server URL

Answer 1

Try using single quotes(') instead of double quotes(") if you need to use special characters in CLI

fabric-ca-client enroll -u 'https://admin:#D******9@ca.m-zzz.n-zzzz.managedblockchain.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:30002' --tls.certfiles /home/ec2-user/managedblockchain-tls-chain.pem -M /home/ec2-user/admin-msp
