Credentials Plugin : escape characters don't work?

[Shobha Dashottar]

   I am using the Credentials Plugin "username:password". I get the credentials using the "use secrets" option into the environment but the special characters are getting messed up. It appears the Plugin is not recognizing the backslash as a special character. I have a $$ in my password string and that somehow gets translated to $.

Is there a separate set of escape characters it understands.

\$\$ translates to \$\$
but \$$ translates to \$

Thanks
Shobha.

Judging by your output, I would hazard a guess that ‘$’ escapes the ‘$’, so to get ‘$$’ you would use ‘$$$$’, not ‘\$\$’. Just a guess though.

 Yep. I had to give 4$'s for one so a total of 8 $'s :) .
