Escaping a variable.

[Hans Deragon]

Greetings.


  This sound stupid to ask, but how do I escape a $ sign?

  I have in my cf file:

     InsertLine "DHCP_HOSTNAME=${HOSTNAME}"

  And in my file being edited, I want:

    DHCP_HOSTNAME=${HOSTNAME}

  not

    DHCP_HOSTNAME=einstein

  However, \$ does not work and neither in the reference or tutorial could I 
find some reference on how to escape the $ so that the variable is not being 
interpreted (I search for the keyword 'escape'; maybe there is a better keyword 
to search for?).


Best regards,
Hans Deragon
