Splitting a string--delimiter is $

[Xander Jacob]

I'm insane, but that's beside the point.

The point is that a String's split method returns a one-element array when I use "$" as the delimiter.
1: I am absolutely sure the source (regex) has $'s in it.
2: This method works beautifully for every delimiter but $.
Is it a special character? I haven't found any escape codes for it.

Here's a snippet of the code, asssuming dd is a String.

String[] lines = dd.split("$");
System.out.println("LINE COUNT = " + lines.length);
for (String l : lines) {
System.out.println(l);
}

I have a piece of code here that proves the existence of $:

for (int i = 0; i < dd.length(); i++) { 
            if (dd.charAt(i) == '$') {
                System.out.println("$ at " + i);
            }
        }

Netbeans 8.0.1, Java 1.8.

...and yes, I have tried restarting Netbeans.

$ means end-of-line in Java regex's.

Special characters need to be escaped.

Did you know that the $ has to be escaped? (Groan)

Problem = solved.
