Autoit can't handle 2 dollar signs in a string

[manuelgruber]

Hey guys, 

I'm actually using autoit for quite a while and I think it's a great script language. 

I'm doing a bigger project right now and ran into a problem you may be able to help me with. 

I'm reading files into a string and Split it into an array so I can go threw it line by line. 

After some sorting out I write it back into multiple files. So. I basically split one file into more. 

Everything works fine as long as the string doesn't have 2 dollar sings right next to each other. 

It looks like this:

$cStr="N10 $A_DBB[800]=$$A_IM[Y1]" 

Consolewrite($cStr&@LF)

Msgbox(0,"test",$cStr)

If u run this script you will get:

N10 $A_DBB[800]=$A_IM[Y1]

So it basically cuts away the second $. 

If I make 4 $ they end up being 2. But this does not help me. 

Do you have any idea how I can get autoit to do this right? 

Thank you for any input on this issue.

Definitely not



Which version of AutoIt are you using?

Sorry I bordered you about this, cause I just remembered doing something with the Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1) a while back. This causes the problem I have. It will take some rewriting on another subprogram but at least I found the reason why this was happening.
