Ignoring Hidden Characters

[whocares357]

I'm trying to look at a file and find 6 or more consecutive consonants (everything except a vowel). However I have a hidden $ character at the end of each line in the file. For some reason I can't reference to it in any of the pattern searching commands.

For example: grep '[^aeiouAEIOU$]\{6,\}' file| more

This command returns words that contain 5 consonants at the end (because it interprets the hidden $ as not a vowel). How can I make it ignore the hidden character? Or more specifically how do I refer to the hidden character in my pattern searches?

Thank you.

Not sure what you mean by 'hidden' $ character. Have you tried escaping it?

grep '[^aeiouAEIOU\$$]\{6,\}' file| more

Edit: Can this trailing character be removed?
