problem with backslash and "replace in file"

[abcdetech]

thanks it some how works but doesn't fully do what I intended to do. I should've posted all my string.

I've solved a problem with backslashes but now I'm getting a problem with a $

I need to insert this string

%WORK_ROOT%\bin\$ConfigurationName between <HintPath> tags.

where %WORK_ROOT% is defined as c:\temp

after implementing your tip I'm getting:

<HintPath>c:\temp\bin\$ConfigurationName<\HintPath >

can't figure out how to solve a problem with the $ symbol.

I'm expecting to see:

<HintPath>c:\temp\bin\Debug<\HintPath>
<HintPath>c:\temp\bin\Release<\HintPath>
<HintPath>c:\temp\bin\Debug_MT<\HintPath>......... .

thank you
