Hi @manognya.prasad ,

$ in AA indicates that you are starting a variable so the command expects you to close it with $. But since you are trying to pass the regex with “$” symbol you should put $$ which is interpreted as “$” symbol.

 

Hope this helps

The $ sign is a sign reserved for Automation Anywhere and indicates that you are using Variable, You must remove it

You can use additional ‘$’ to make it a valid expression.

$ -→ $$
