escape character

[aaronde]

I know this is rather simple

I need to echo into a file the string $hello but I do not want it to be considered as a variable but as a string such that $hello is printed into the file

echo "$hello" >> /test;

?????

Thanks in advance

Use single quotes if you don't want to expand a variable.
