What is the difference between '$(Var)' and $(Var)

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:52:37 GMT

On the script I have noticed no difference between '$(Var)' and $(Var). I suppose that the ' forces the $(Var) as a string.

Thanks in advance

The $(Var)-construction will be replaced by the value of the variable "Var" when the script runs.

So, if "Var" equals the string ABC, then the $(Var) will be replaced by ABC and this will be interpreted as e.g. a field name, by the script parser. Whereas '$(Var)' will be read as 'ABC', which is a literal, e.g. a field value.
