dollar signs in replace commands

I am doing a search and replace using the replace task in ant.
And the text that I am replacing with contains dollar ($) signs.

Is there any way that I can get ant to recognise as literal strings?


Thanks.

I'm not sure I've understood your problem. If you need a literal $
inside your build.xml write it as $$.

Does this help?
