Regex for money values help

I am trying to get a regex to get values like:

$28.0k
$2.8k
$5.2M

I want the whole string in a variable not just the number i need the $ and the M or k included.

I am currently trying

Code:

my $value = $data =~ m/(\\\$\d+\.\d+M|k)/;

but this doesn't seem to be getting the correct value, all help is appreciated.

Hi,

try something like this:

Perl Code:

Original - Perl Code
my $value = $1 if $data =~ m/(\$\d+\.\d+[kM])/;

my $value = $1 if $data =~  m/(\$\d+\.\d+[kM])/;
