How to select all characters after a $ when the string coming in is always a different length

The following string could be: dsafk$asdlfdl or odldl$ldlkfjdsljfdslkjfdslkjf

I need to do the following. Select everything to the rigt of the dollar sign, move it to the left of the dollar sign, and then put a second string that is coming into this function to the right of the dollar sign where the old string was.

There are a number of ways to do string manipulation. You'll want to add error checking and all that, but something like this should do the trick:

myString = string.Format("{0}{1}${2}", myString.Split("$")[0], myString.Split("$")[1], passedString)

or:

myString = string.Format("{0}${1}", myString.Replace("$", string.Empty), passedString)

and so on...
