Support $ symbol

[mavencode01]

I can't seems to use twitter stock symbol on logstash twitter input. It throws exception if I tried to use the $ sign

input {
 twitter {
        # add your data
        consumer_key => "*******************"
        consumer_secret => "*******************"
        oauth_token => "***********************"
        oauth_token_secret => "***********************"
        keywords => ["AAPL"]
        full_tweet => true
    }
}

I need to filter only the stock related tweets in the keywords

keywords => ["$AAPL"]

This shows up in my console if I tried to user the $ symbol in the keywords

Is there a way around this ?

I am having the same problem with @something. Already tried \@something, %@something and I am getting the same error.
