How do I escape # in an ou?

[Nestor Cortes]

I am trying to delete multiple OU's via the following command

gam csv ./mySheet.csv gam delete orgs "~OU"

Where each OU entry is of the following format:
/1/2/3/cart #1234/

I can't seem to properly escape the '#' character and thus my OU's aren't found.

The API library is broken, OUs with + or # in their name are not properly processed.

I entered a bug report years ago about the + problem an nothing every happened.

You'll have to list the OUs and delete the desired ones by their ID.

Use org instead of orgs i the command to avoid other quoting issued.

gam csv ./mySheet.csv gam delete org "~OUId"

I've tried editing each entry to include a backslash before the # like so

/12/3/cart \#1234/ 
however this didn't help.

The OU id is like this: id:123abc456

Good to know it wasn't just me. Thank you.

If it's causing these levels of issues it may be worth just renaming the OU.
