Dollar signs [$] in file names not allowed?
Hi,

I want to install java class files. However NSIS doesnt seem to like the inner classes which have dollar signs in the filenames, e.g Note$1.class. I read somewhere I could denote $ as $$ but still no joy.

I need to distribute the class files individually for reasons I won't go into here. So I cant just put them into a cab,zip, jar, etc...

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Colin.


Just do:

File prob$.txt
The "$$" to represent the "$" can only be used within actual strings where variables like $WINDIR and $R0 can be used. These cannot be used in the File argument (since they will only get there value at run time, not at compile time), so it is not necessary to have a $$ option in File. Therefore it doesn't exist :). "$" will be represented by "$".

Good luck,
-Hendri.
