I am using NVelocity to process various PowerShell scripts before they are executed against a server.

My question is how to escape a backslash trailing a variable:

e.g.

ls \\$computername\c$

$computername should be replaced with a valid computer name at runtime, but the trailing backslash (\c$) means that it does not.

Thanks Ben
