searching for strings containing special characters in vim
How can I search for the following string in vim:
\$5 * \$5 * \$6 * 10000
Just typing
/\$5 * \$5 * \$6 * 10000
in command mode doesn't do the job.
Thanks

Put a \ before \ (double \\), $, and *.
/\\\$5 \* \\\$5 \* \\\$6 \* 1000\\\$5 \* \\\$5 \* \\\$6 \* 10000
