Question

I’m trying to use RegEx to select all strings between two dollar signs.

text = text.replace(/\$.*\$/g, "meow");

I’m trying to turn all text between two dollar signs into “meow” (placeholder).

EDIT:
Original question changed because the solution was too localized, but the accepted answer is useful information.

Answer 1

That’s pretty close to what you want, but it will fail if you have multiple pairs of $text$ in your string. If you make your .* repeater lazy, it will fix that. E.g.,

text = text.replace(/\$.*?\$/g, "meow");
