I want an acceptable answer to include some different characters and the quiz is interpreting it as code or wild cards or something.
I want the answer to be: tar –cvf log2016.tar *
Anyway I can make this the correct answer? I think the "-" minus sign in the answer is throwing Storyline off. Not sure about the "*" at the end either.
I have tried selecting the "Answers are case sensitive" with no change. I need a "Answers are Literal" selection.
Hi, Joseph -- Thanks so much for reaching out here and for your question! May I ask if you can confirm which you are intending to use: the hyphen (-), en dash (–), or em dash (—)? And do you have a file we can check out, as well?
Hi, Joseph -- Thanks for your reply, and sorry to hear that issues persist! Can you share your file so I can see if I find different results? If you'd like to pass it along for private review, here is the form you'd need. And may I ask if you are testing the link on a PC or a Mac? If using a Mac, you'll need to hit "alt/command" and the "-" key to create an en dash (–) instead of a (-) hyphen.
I could just make in multiple guess, however to properly perform the task that I am testing them on, they have to type the command in exactly as shown to create the compressed log files. I wouldn't have struggled with this as long as I have unless it was important. Been a few weeks for me before I contacted you. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the clarification, Joseph, and I will try to see if I am able to find success using the "-" hyphen or minus sign instead of an en dash in a test file, as well. Your patience is appreciated!
Hi, Joseph -- Thanks again and when testing my sample file (attached) with the "-" instead of the en dash, I am still not having difficulties. I tested via tempshare.articulate.com and received the "Correct" message when I entered the following (which I'd like to spell out with spaces and such so that I can verify that I am inputting it as you have intended:
tar(space)-cvf(space)log2016.tar(space)*
If you continue to have troubles, it would be helpful if you can attach your file here or provide it via the link I shared above so that we might isolate other potential causes of the difficulty you are experiencing.
Thanks for the update, Joseph, and apologies that I inadvertently left out the "cvf" in the reply above, but I promise it was there in the file! Please let us know if that does the trick or if you still need additional assistance! :)

Hi, Joseph -- When using the en dash (–), everything appears to work properly when testing via tempshare.articulate.com as seen below:
I have also attached a quiz sample file in case you'd like to check it out. Hopefully that helps!
What am I doing wrong.....?????
- minus sign or dash....
yours did it to me as well....
teaching students to create a single tar file in Linux of the folder.

I need to test people on using the "Minus Sign" "-" as that is what they need to use in Linux.

the last one worked "JPelton2.story". I'll add it to my original story and see how it works.

It worked! Thanks so much for your help.
Delighted to hear it, Joseph! Many thanks for the update. :)
