How can I save strings as raw data in Powershell?

Question

I would like to set a string with special chars in it ($ for example). How can I save a string as a raw string?

$B = "A$$B" isn't saved as "A$$B".

Answer 1

If the string is in ' (single quotes) the variables ( like $x ) are not expanded.

Also, Powershell has here-strings much like verbatim strings in C#

Answer 2

maybe you can use the ` to escape chars (called 'backquote')
