I’m pretty sure there was a change to this in the last few years.
NOW, a reg_ex pattern search is the default.
This means if you are doing a REPLACE_PATTERN on some text that contains a “$”, it will probably fail.
So I decided to use REPLACE_PATTERN to fix the string, omitting what the end user typed and just delete the $.
But since “$” is a funky character in the reg_ex world, you actually have to look for it like this: \$
Escaping the $ so its not misinterpreted.
Who is gonna know that? I mean I know it. BobK knows it.
Would have been better to add a 3rd parm for “Plain” or “Regular Expression” MODE.
