Need to use $

Jordar:
Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I am trying to configure my linker options to add "@test.r$p" to the command line.  However the program interprets the "$p" as a macro and all that gets placed is "@test.r"
How do I get around this?  I have tried "@test.r$$p" and it displays "@test.r$".  No matter what else I try I can't get this to work

the file test.r$p is a file that is automatically named when I change project options.  So if I can't figure this out I can always just manually rename the file everytime I change the project..... :(

Thanks for any help.

Currently, there is no way to escape $ in compiler/linker paths etc, sorry.

This is a known issue and will be fixed some day, but it requires rewriting quite a bit of code, unluckily.

just some random thoughts:

* can you define the macro $p to be equal to the text "$p"?
* can you use the "pre-build steps" build option for the project to automatically rename the file for you?

Don't! This means terribly bad Karma. You will cause an infinite recursion.
That's the reason why we have trouble implementing an escape sequence, too.
