In Vi editor if we have seen $ so what is the mean that?

This is the output of file1 in vi editor -

xyz|123|2013-12-22|2014-02-28
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04
xyz|123|2013-12-29|2014-01-04

If you see the $ symbol at the end of each line (and no matter what you do, you can't put the cursor on that symbol) that means that vim is showing you where the newline characters are in the file.

This is controlled by the list option:

:set list
:set nolist

Further, the listchars option tells vim what symbols to use for these newline and other special characters.
