How do I publish textual data on a stream?

Question

I am using

multichain-cli [chainname] publish stream1 [key1] {"text":"hello world"}

(with appropriate chainname and key)

However, it returns

error code: -8
error message:
data should be hexadecimal string or recognized object

(I am using cmd to preform this)

Hi,

when using Windows you must escape the Json structure correctly, as described in the readme.txt, e.g.

multichain-cli.exe chain1 publish stream1 "key1" "{\"text\":\"hello world\"}"

Cheers
