Yes, it uses regular expressions! I am wondering why the above
expression is killing any '$50,000' article, because the '$' means
'matching end of line'...

:
Give \$50,000 a try. The '\' escapes the special meanings of the
regular expression characters!

:
Yes, '.' is also one. It matches any character!
In another yarn-list thread I posted a description of regular
expressions some days ago (yesterday?). You should find it, if you
are looking for 'regular' in your newsbase (just found it: it is in
the 'Souper95 scoring' thread - threading is really great)
