I would like to write a regular expression to match two parentheses ( between $'s (not necessarily consecutive).
For example$c(ad(b*$, $a((*b$ and $$*(a(b(*$$ are match but $a($ and $(a)$ are not.
A dollar sign [$], followed possibly by some chars that are neither a dollar sign nor a left paren [^$(]*, followed by a left paren [(], followed (again) possibly by some chars that are neither a dollar sign nor a left paren [^$(]*, followed by a dollar sign [$].
"[$][^$(]*[(][^$(]*[(].*[$]"

1No reason not. I thought the version I gave might be more self-explanatory. No need to know that
(is not special or to know how to escape special chars such as$. (And yes, if it were for my own code, I would write what you wrote.) – Drew Jun 4 '15 at 21:42
