Description

If there is a $ sign in front of the string I am looking for, the find-in-file does not find any matches. (Using Linux)

I found the same to be the case.

It seems that the value is being passed through to Ack, and it thinks it's a scalar not a literal string of $string.

I've added a regex to escape the string value if it has one of the special characters in it.

This seems to have worked.

OK, this is now fixed.

Changed the regex to the quotemeta function.
