NSIS and & symbol in File "/oname=..."

Hello!
Sorry for my English.
I need add some files, which named as "$profile.bat", "&settings.ini", etc. They all include in filename a character $.

I try double-$:

PHP Code:


		
			
File "/oname=$$profile.bat" "C:\!NEW_INSTALLER\!!cache\$$profile.bat"

But it don't works (compiler error). Please, help me with solution. Thanks.

I try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
IntFmt $0 "%c" 0x24

File "/oname=$0UPDATE.INI" "C:\!NEW_INSTALLER\!DEVELOP\!!cache1\$0UPDATE.INI"

But it also don't work.

The /oname parameter needs $ as $$ but the source file path does not, just use $.

Remember to use the full path with /oname.

what's mean?
for example, i need to use something like that:

PHP Code:


		
			
File "/oname=$INSTDIR\$$UPDATE.INI" "C:\!NEW_INSTALLER\!DEVELOP\!!cache1\$UPDATE.INI"

?

P.S. I found a new problem. Why not worked this? File contain two ore more dots in filename? :( Thanks for answer.

PHP Code:


		
			
File "/oname=data\ed\5_10_0\ACTCOMMONFORM.XSD.Dcf" "C:\!NEW_INSTALLER\!DEVELOP\!!cache1\data\ed\5_10_0\ACTCOMMONFORM.XSD.Dcf"

"/oname=data\ed\5_10_0\ACTCOMMONFORM.XSD.Dcf" is not a full path, it should start with $instdir or something like that.

Unfortunately this:

PHP Code:


		
			
File "/oname=$INSTDIR\data\ed\5_10_0\ACTCOMMONFORM.XSD.Dcf" "C:\!NEW_INSTALLER\!DEVELOP\!!cache1\data\ed\5_10_0\ACTCOMMONFORM.XSD.Dcf"

leads to syntax error too. :(

And what's mean this:

PHP Code:


		
			
Use /oname=X switch to change the output name. X may contain variables and can be a fully qualified path or a relative path in which case it will be appended to $OUTDIR set by SetOutPath. When using this switch, only one file can be specified. If the output name contains spaces, quote the entire parameter, including /oname, as shown in the examples below.

It's old article? Full path absolutely need?

Big thanks for your fast answers! :up:
