Hi,

When I type this in Python Shell

>>> print '$HIP'
>>> '$HIP'

When I do the same thing in PythonSOP, string gets expanded. Why?!

>>> print '$HIP'
>>> C:/blabla

How can I avoid string expansion in PythonSOP?
Thank you

I'm just guessing the python sop already has access to environment variables while the shell doesn't. You can get around it evaluating though if you type:

print "\$HIP"
