throw the '\' character (only the \, not the ') in front of it. That's your control character. Best of luck! <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

I can't put the caracter \ before the $ sign .Because I receive the list who contain it from a rex .The rex script call my perl script and gives him parameters which contain $,@ and # caracters.From the moment I received the list perl sees them as variable
a rex? I'm not familiar with rex.. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
