Hi Tamas, I actually want a behaviour such that the output string has "$LBP" rather than "\$LBP" so that when the string is read it returns the value of LBP in the string e.g.:
julia> LBP=30 30 julia> string ="LBP =$LBP" "LBP =30" On Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 1:44:05 PM UTC+1, Tamas Papp wrote: > > Maybe something like > > julia> s = "my \\ escaped \\\$ \$ string" > "my \\ escaped \\\$ \$ string" > > julia> replace(s, "\\\$", "\$") > "my \\ escaped \$ \$ string" > > Best, > > Tamas > > PS.: Incidentally, is there a way to enter strings with $ without > escaping them?
