Hi,

I'm writing a program in C that runs a Java utility with several
command-line arguments.
one of the parameters that I'm passing is a home directory of a tandem
computer - which means that it contains the special character: '$'.
i.e: myprogram -path "\BLA.$DATA01.BLU"
A NonStop system? (\node.$volume.subvol)

If I'll run it literally, I'll get a: "DATA01: Undefined variable"
message.
what I usually do, with tcsh/bash is adding a '\' before every '$'.
i.e: myprogram -path "\BLA.\$DATA01.BLU"
but when I try to do it with csh, I still get an error message (the
same ol' "DATA01: Undefined variable")
A NonStop system with a C-Shell??
Don't use C-Shell for scripting...

how can I get pass that ?
How about single quotes instead of double quotes, e.g.
myprogram -path '\BLA.$DATA01.BLU'

In C you might still need to escape the \
system("myprogram -path '\\BLA.$DATA01.BLU'")
or
system("myprogram -path \"\\BLA.\\$DATA01.BLU\")

Bye, Jojo
