Re: [ros-users] parameter types

Hi Aaron,

rosparam's arguments are YAML syntax (the shell strips your outer
quotes so they aren't meaningful). There are two ways to override:

$ rosparam set foo/ser2 "'00000303'"
$ rosparam set foo/ser2 '!!str 00000303'

This isn't ideal, but we didn't want to write our own markup language
with its own quirks instead.

hope this helps,
Ken
