Re: Under Linux, "Find in Files" with a '$' character doesn't work

Hi Neil,
I tried to search "\$2800", but the executed command becomes:

SciTE -grep ~~~~ "" "" "\\$2800"

The result is invalid, it adds another "\" character inside. But if I call 
SciTE in command line directly, it works:

SciTE -grep ~~~~ "" "" "\$2800"

This result is valid. So how can I remove the extra "\" character added by 
the Find in Files command?
