Hi,

I'm using Java 1.6.  How would I modify my regular expression below

^Starting at \$32,000*$

so that it will match the string, "Starting at $32,000*".  In other
words, I have

String regEx = "^Starting at \\$32,000*$";
String text = "Starting at $32,000*";
if (!text.matches(regEx)) {
      throw new RuntimeException("does not match");
}

but the exception is always thrown.  Please let me know how can I
modify my reg ex to match.  Thanks, - Dave
