Sorry, the example was incomplete. It should be like this:
@Test
public void testReplaceEscapingDollarSign() {
values.put("amount", "20.00");
final StrSubstitutor sub = new StrSubstitutor(values);
sub.setEscapeChar('<');
String replaceTemplate = "The <${animal} jumps over the ${target}.";
String expectedResult = "The ${animal} jumps over the lazy dog.";
String replacedResult = sub.replace(replaceTemplate);
assertEquals(expectedResult, replacedResult);
replaceTemplate = "The ${animal} paid <$${amount} to jump over
the ${target}.";
expectedResult = "The quick brown fox paid $20.00 to jump over
the lazy dog.";
replacedResult = sub.replace(replaceTemplate);
assertEquals(expectedResult, replacedResult);
}
The second assertion failed. So, it seems working in case of
"<${animal}", but not working in case of "<$${amount}".
testReplaceEscapingDollarSign(org.apache.commons.lang3.text.StrSubstitutorTest)
Time elapsed: 0.009 sec <<< FAILURE!
org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<...uick brown fox paid []$20.00
to jump over ...> but was:<...uick brown fox paid [<]$20.00 to jump
over ...>
