        @Pierluigi-Vitiello ,

        Regular expressions have a concept called “escaping”, where you put a \ before the special character, and it turns it into a literal character. So if you want to search for a literal dollar sign $ rather than the end-of-line that the symbol means in a regular expression, search for \$ instead of $.

        see the docs at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/#single-character-matches for more on the escaping sequence.
