Re: How to get the dollar value from this text string?

Yeah, I had to figure it out.  You had it almost perfect, Jack.  You just have to make the part outside of the capture group lazy:

.*?(\d*\.\d\d).*


Do that and you're golden.  Note that this won't handle any other punctuation (e.g., commas and negative signs) nor will it handle cases where there is no decimal point.

the regex for that is something like

.*(\d*\.\d\d).*

when $1 will be your dollar figure.
