Escaping $ in asserted XML Xpath Match

Question

I have a number of&nbsp;assertions for&nbsp;XML content that have "$" in them.&nbsp;Where I'm looking for&nbsp;#[((${CD67610 addMonth="2"} - @{Nxt Pymt Due Date}) / 86400000) round="ROUND,1"], soapUI is looking for&nbsp;#[(( - @{Nxt Pymt Due Date}) / 86400000) round="ROUND,1"].&nbsp;It seems like soapUI NG Pro is substituting the null value of a perceived variable&nbsp;${CD67610 addMonth="2"} for my text. &nbsp;Is there a way to escape this?&nbsp;Thank you for your help

Hi Pmrostal,
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Perhaps, using double&nbsp;$ helps you - $${...}
Could you please check this?

An extra $ works in 1.7.0 but due to a bug in 1.8.0 it works with two $$ for escape, we have a bug logged for this issue.

Thank you - I will work with our tools team to get them to allow me to download the build.&nbsp; If not, I believe I can move from 1.4 to 1.7, which sounds like it will work for me too.
