Notepad++ regex replace - how to remove this string

I want to remove strings in the form of the following where some-text is a random text string.

$('#some-text').val();

I've tried various things but I think the $ sign is messing things up since it's used in regex.

To avoid escaping the special characters, you can use \Q - \E pair to surround the part where you want the regex engine to interpret literally:

\Q$('\E<your-regex>\Q').val();\E

Replace <your-regex> with your regex to match the selector, or whatever it is.

Try this regex by escaping special chars:

\$\(.*\).val\(\);

You need to escape some characters.
Try this - 

\$\('#[^']*'\)\.val\(\);
