Greetings.

My BlackJack Bot sends lots of messages into the channel, and consequently the messages need to be spaced apart by 2 second delay timers to prevent flooding and auto-ignores from clients.

This works satisfactory.

However, a message the Bot sends indicates how much a Player has won or lost. A typical message might be:

Quote:
Joe wins, and the House grungingly pays out $10.


The problem is this is a command for a timer:

Code:
 Timer 1: 1 Delay, 1 seconds until execution of /say Joe wins, and the House grungingly pays out $10. command.


As a command, mIRC obviously find this to be some sort of passed value or an identifier. In my case, I need for it to be a literal string.

That's the background. So my question is:

Is there a way to force the timer to see the command as a string literal -or- is there a way to escape the $ sign?

I have tried all sorts of things, evaluation brackets, $eval(), \$, $$, but in the end, the timer command ends up to be the same above.

Your guidance would be honored.
