Hello,
I am writing a script which, among other things, generates Nginx configuration. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem. In Nginx config, I need to type $1
. I use the following method for this:
cat > /etc/nginx/sites-available/website <<EOL
...
rewrite ^/api/?(.*)$ /web/api.php?url=$1 last;
...
EOL
This makes the output file look like this:
...
rewrite ^/api/?(.*)$ /web/api.php?url= last;
...
How do I make cat not interpret $1
as a parameter?

Hello,
What you could do is just use a backtick to escape the dollar sign:
cat > /etc/nginx/sites-available/website <<EOL
...
rewrite ^/api/?(.*)$ /web/api.php?url=\$1 last;
...
EOL
Hope that this helps Regards, Bobby
