I encountered an issue when trying to use the # symbol in variable values. Specifically, when setting a password containing # (e.g., mysecret#password), the value is unexpectedly altered. Instead of using the intended string, the entire value is replaced with mysecret#password, breaking functionality. Even if I try to escape the # symbol using a backslash (e.g., mysecret#password), it still does not work as expected, and the value remains misinterpreted.
Steps to Reproduce:
Define a variable (e.g., password) with the value mysecret#password inside config file like /etc/nxs-backup/conf.d/mysql.conf )
Expected Behavior:
The # symbol should be treated as part of the value, not as a comment or special character, and the variable should retain its original value.
Actual Behavior:
The value is replaced or misinterpreted when the # symbol is included, resulting in incorrect behavior.
'Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
