Re: Disabling Variable Expansion in regular expressions.

[davido]

Without a small self-contained script demonstrating the circumstances that exhibit the problem you are having, the best advice I can give is to look at the following documentation:

• The Gory Details of Parsing Quoted Constructs
• quotemeta
• Regexp Quote Like Operators

That will quickly get into the nuts and bolts of how to deal with string interpolation of variables.
