Rule Engine but Columns have $ in the Name

Rule engine is awesome, however I have a column named "Sales $"... Of course $Sales$$ confuses it.. I can't put it in quotes, or whatnot... My workaround has been to use a Column Rename node, but I would rather preserve the naming convention, so it would be ideal if there was a certain syntax or escape character that I could use directly within the Rule that still lets me refer to that column?

I haven't tried it but a typical escape character is to use a backslash before the character, so you would use

It is not possible to use it that way with the rule engine nodes. (I think renaming the column to "Sales USD" (or other currency $ means) would be an improvement.) In this case you can use the Java Snippet nodes in case you would not like to rename the column.
