In regular expressions $ doesn't directly match anything, it's just an anchor point that means the end of the line I'm matching. Usually that means a new line, but it doesn't have to. It all depends on how the source of the stuff you are trying to match feeds it to the regular expressing engine.

I don't know what $$ means to libreoffice's regular expression engine. Probably some like "find an actual $ at the end of a line of text"

Tried this suggestion, but it does not work ... does
not find $$ at all, even though paragraph breaks are
double line breaks -- i.e.  \012 \012.


Do a search for 2 of your your replacement characters ($)
and replace $$ with something else, like a double plus (++)
or som e other character not found in your text. Then
delete the $ in the document and do another
replace to restore ++ to EOL or paragraph breaks.
