Groovy String with a '$' character in it

[Mamta Verma]

I'm trying to store a password in a groovy string something like below:

def password = "g4!r1*h2$mv"

I get an error: Static type checking: the variable mv is undeclared, which is probably because it encounters a dollar after h2. Is there a way to include $ as part of the string?

Thanks In Advance

Hello @Mamta Verma

In groovy escaping characters with one \

def password = "g4!r1*h2\$mv"

Hi @Mamta Verma

try escaping characters with \\

e.g. "g4!r1*h2\\$mv"

[Mamta Verma]

Tried it .. I still get the same error!

Thats odd

have you tried Slashy string format

def str = $/g4!r1*h2\$$mv/$

or single quotes instead of double quotes

def str = 'g4!r1*h2\\$mv'

Single Quotes is working.. thanks Tom
