Thanks!
Just wanted to report that $ does not work; \ adds one more X.

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?
