This script:


[code]		<for delimiter="${line.separator}" param="lineOfTestLine" list="$$$
$$$ ${line.separator}$$$$$$ $$$$ ${line.separator}$$$$$$ $$$$">
			<sequential>
				<echo level="info" message="lineOfTestLine: @{lineOfTestLine}" />
			</sequential>
		</for>
[/code]

Results in this output:


[code]     [echo] lineOfTestLine: $ $ 
     [echo] lineOfTestLine: $$ $ 
     [echo] lineOfTestLine: $$ $
[/code]

Anyone know why its eating all those dollar signs?

Regards,
Chris
