[syslog-ng] placing dollar sign into patterdb tag values

[Evan Rempel]

I would like to place a $ character into the value of a tag/vlue pair using the patternDB
but I can't find a way to do it. It seems that everything I have tried the patternDB engine
interprets the $ as the start ov a variable expansion.

Does anyone know if this can be done?
An then the follow up question "How?"

Thanks for your time.
