AVX::ESCAPE

AVX::ESCAPE function has been designed to escape non-alphanumeric characters in user or third-party inputs when processed by an operating system shell. The function loops through each character in the input string and escapes any character that is not alphanumeric. It returns a new string where unsafe characters are prefixed with a backslash (\), ensuring they are interpreted as literal characters rather than part of the shell command.

Usage: Script task when executing a python script with special or non-alphanumeric characters.

variable1 = "a b"
variable2 = "'id'"
variable3 = "$(test)"
esc1 = AVX::ESCAPE(variable1)
esc2 = AVX::ESCAPE(variable2)
esc3 = AVX::ESCAPE(variable3)
AVX::LOG(esc1)
AVX::LOG(esc2)
AVX::LOG(esc3)
AVX::OUTPUT({})

The above python script has three variables:

Variable 1 has a space "a b"
Variable 2 has quotes "'id'"
Variable 3 has a $ symbol $(test)

The above three cases will be escaped with the backslash (\)when executing the script.
