FileWrite a '$' not parsed as variable
  My Dears -

I need to write the following line to a file using the search and replace function:

$file_path= "file://c:/path/to/xsltest/"; 

At the moment I parse the file where I have written "@@FILE_PATH@@" and substitute this string. The line looks like that:

   StrCmp $2 "@@FILE_PATH@@$\r$\n" 0 +3

      FileWrite$1 "$\$file_path = $\"file://$INSTDIR/Apache2/htdocs/xsltest/$\";$\r$\n"

      Goto loop 

>

But this gives back an error, because of the $file_path string.How can I exclude the $from been read as variable rather than as plain text?

Thx Chris

Quick hack: (depends how NSIS handles $\x where x is any character.. hopefully unrecognised values of x are just passed thru unmodified)

FileWrite $1 "$\$$\file_path ....
