dimensions 10

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,
We are using dimensions 10 (source code control system) for our programs. Some programs contain special characters like �$' , �#' , � , � etc..

During the check-out process of an item , a unix shell script will be called to process the item. If the item contains a �$' character, it will ignore the characters after $

For example , there is an item called AC$RUN

During checkout process, the script takes only AC and it ignores $RUN.

Please note that I can not pass the argument to shell script as AC\$RUN to handle it correctly inside the script. Is there any other way to handle this ?

Thanks
Sundar
