Tokenization VSTS-Task escape characters

[myaesubi]

Hi,
I'm using the "Tokenization task" and I learned that when there is special characters, the implementation will apply escape character rule on it:

Example:

value: Test$$!Jungle18 will be converted to Test$!Jungle18

Thanks,
Mohammad

Thank you for the feedback, but I want to understand your comment better. You are saying you do not want it to escape the values? Could you please elaborate.

I am having this same issue. I am using the tokenization task and my variable has double dollar signs in the value. The output only contains one dollar sign. The password was provided by vendor and cannot be easily changed. How can I get the tokenizer task to output both dollar signs? Thanks!

Fixed the issue - I used 4 dollar signs and the output is then 2 dollar signs which is what we needed.

Example:
variable value: Test1234$$abc
output: Test1234$abc

variable value: Test1234$$$$abc
output: Test1234$$abc
