Hi, I am trying to write a little bit of PHP and i've run into some 
problems.

I have an array with, say two different types of strings, some contain 
'$' and the others do not. i would like to separate the two and print 
the ones containing '$' and forget about the others.

example of strings:

'\\10.60.40.214 CO3-23$ Windows 2000 2195 0 00:00:08' <----- this is the 
one i would like to print

'\\10.60.41.108 MONIQUM Windows 2000 2195 3 00:00:00' <-----this is the 
one that i would like to leave alone

so far i have come up with this:


$pattern = ?????noidea?????
foreach($array as $row)
      {
           if (preg_match($pattern, $row))
           {
          echo "A match was found.".$row;
           } else {
          echo "A match was not found.";
           }
   }

the only problem is that i have no idea what the string pattern has to 
look like to search/match a single dollar sign in the middle of a 
string. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

thanks tim.
