Hi, In a test tool that I am working on, I need to enter text preceded by a $ sign to be interpreted as an environment variable by the underlying running script. However, it seems that the $ sign gets converted to X when it gets passed to the tool executable. Is there a way to work around this or should I be doing something else to pass environment variables via Galaxy tool UI. Thanks, Ketan

Hi Ketan! it sounds like your input is sanitized. You can disable it for your whole wrapper or you can write a special sanitizer for your input field: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/ToolConfigSyntax#A.3Csaniti zer.3E_tag_set Cheers, Bjoern

Thank you. It worked and the sanitizer tag sounds very useful. -- Ketan

Thanks! Just wanted to report that \$ does not work; \ adds one more X. -- Ketan
