$ problem in ANT task...
I came across something the other day that I thought someone might
want to take a look at. I was setting up a custom JDBCTask and was
having problems getting a conncetion to the database. It wasn't
until I echoed my userid and password that I realized what it was.
You see the password we use for development purposes contains two "$"
back to back; like "sa$$y". When the password was echoed it
displayed only on "$"; like "sa$y", infact I had to put three back to
back "$" before it would interpret the input as desired.
Seems even when the "$" is in the middle of a quoted strring it still
trying to parse out a value.
The matter isn't urgent since you can work around it by "$" with a "$"
but wanted to bring it to someones attention.
