Your problem is absolutely to do with the "$", and if you don't yet
understand regex well enough to fix it, have a read through a simple
intro such as http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/regex.htm#positioning.

BTW that's a pointer to the exact section you need, but I recommend
you digest at least the first half of that guide - it's not long or
difficult, and will serve you well in the future.

HTH,
Jonathan
