What should be the regex for what?

What are you trying to match exactly? Your question is effectively saying

"I have the string 'this is my string'. What should be the regex?"

You have to tell us what you are TRYING to match.

Have you read the Javadoc for java.util.regex.Pattern? What does it say there about $?

Hava you read the Pattern Javadoc already? That should get you along for now. And keep in mind that you need to treat $ specially, the Javadoc explains why.
