Hi Reimar,

Funny, I was just fiddling with this, too.

I assume that you want to split the string into substrings using the '$'
character. To do so, you need to use the escape character
(backslash)before the '$' since '$' is also a REGEX control character.

IDL> a = 'ABC$DEF'
IDL> print,strsplit(a,'\$',/extr,/regex)
ABC DEF

Cheers,
Ben
