Summary: StringConstant actor will not accept strings with '$'
Product: Kepler
Version: 1.0.0beta3
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: actors
AssignedTo: higgins at nceas.ucsb.edu

Try entering a string like 'foo$bar' in the StringConstant actor. It will give
an error trying to evaluate 'bar' as a parameter. It looks like it is
evaluating the string using Ptolemy's expression language.
I think this is because Kepler's StringActor is NOT the same as the Ptolemy
StringActor. It has been modified to allow the string to be set to a filename
and I think this causes an evaluation of the string. This may be useful for
setting filenames, but it causes problems with some strings.
