how to regular expression match benchmark's name if the name has "$" in it

[Bo Zhang]

Hi Henri,

To clarify, by saying "accidentally", I mean I searched benchmarks from 
Github repository and apply them to analyze the performance of my 
hardware. I happened to find one repository using "$" in its name, which 
I believe is not a good idea and it indeed brought me trouble on regex 
match.

I tried

findAllIn\$chars\$100\$1k

before I  asked you. It does not work.

findAllIn.*100.*1k works.

Thanks a lot for help.

Best regards,

Bo
