x2 won't execute a specific DOS command - [solved]

[paNET]

I tried to define the following command in User commands dialog window:

$net start MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS  where "MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS" is the name of the service and the result is

"The service name is invalid.
More help is available ... etc."

because the console2 input line is changing my definition with
net start MSSQLQLEXPRESS removing $S from the service name.
How can I handle this?

Code: Select all

$net start MSSQL$$SQLEXPRESS

Use $$ to escape $

Thanks snakebyte! This is what I was looking for. It's working. Thanks again.
