Escape Dollar Sign Expansion

[mjperreault]

I have a need to display a string of text Incuding $("LoadingIcon") in a Text Box however when no matter what I try this part of the string is returning null because of Dollar Sign Expansion. I have read this community article but it does not seem to be working for me.

In my script I have 

SET A = $("LoadingIcon") ;

However this just returns NULL.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

I got the answer from the other article:

set vString = ~("LoadingIcon");

set vA = "=replace([vString],'~','$')";
