I am prompting for a password and assign it to the variable $PASS$. I then use that variable down the road to set the account of a Windows service. My problem is if the password that is entered starts and ends with a dollar sign, the $PASS$ variable equates to a null string. I have tried all combinations of escaping the variable but nothing works. I've tried:
"$PASS$" '$PASS$' $DOLLAR$PASS$DOLLAR$ \$PASS\$ /$PASS/$ etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? At first I thought this would rarely come up but two of my passwords that were given to me by two different people follow the convention of $...$.
Javascript is very flexible in regards to checking for "null" values. I guess you're actually looking for empty strings, in that case this simpler code should work:
if(!pass||!cpass ||!email ||!cemail ||!user){
Which will check for empty strings (""), null, undefined, fals, and the numbers 0 and NaN
Please note that if you are specifically checking numbers then it's a common error to drop 0 through this method and num! == 0 takes precedence (num! == -1 or ~ num (hacky code also checks - 1)) for functions that return -1, for example indexOf)
