Hi Experts,
I need to have a variable with value initialised to it.The value will possess a hash character with it.

ex: var=reports#2

so how I am suppose to do this?

2

Just like that. What's the problem?

The # character is only special when it begins an unquoted word. In that case, use quotes:

var="reports #2"
