Thanks! Just wanted to report that \$ does not work; \ adds one more X. On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 11:29 AM, Peter Cock <p.j.a.cock@googlemail.com>wrote:

Hi,
In a test tool that I am working on, I need to enter text preceded by a $ sign to be interpreted as an environment variable by the underlying running script. However, it seems that the $ sign gets converted to X when it gets passed to the tool executable.
Is there a way to work around this or should I be doing something else to pass environment variables via Galaxy tool UI.
Thanks, Ketan
This is a security feature I think - or it may just need escaping as \$
Since you are writing the script, why not pass in the environment variable name without the dollar?
