I have to do simple structured bulk load on my redis database. However there are also some UTF-8 (non-ASCII) characters and when I'm trying to load in data with them I am getting ERR Protocol error: expected '$', got ' ' . Loading in data without non-ASCII characters works just fine.
Data example of UTF-8 char that is causing the error :
*4\r\n$4\r\nHSET\r\n$6\r\nGrad_Ž\r\n$6\r\nalmada\r\n$1\r\n1\r\n
If I replace Ž with normal character like S for example it loads and causes no errors.
I have tried different commands to run it and I have tried changing bash locale.
Command I am using to run it :
echo -e "$(cat test.txt)" | redis-cli --pipe
Thanks in advance.
In your case:
$6\r\nGrad_Ž\r\n
6 means that there's 6 bytes value, however, Grad_Ž has more than 6 bytes. Because Ž is NOT an ascii character, and takes more than 1 byte.
You need to set the correct string length (in byte) for the value.
