How to replace using regex match in UIPath


I have a regex to filter data

enter image description here

#Matches Result

 Homeowner's Insurance Premium ( 12 mo.) toAmerican Family  $893.00
 Insura
 Mortgage Insurance Premium (     mo.)
 Prepaid Interest ($5.99 per day from 10/02/2020 to 10/01/2020) -$5.99

Using for each loop on the Matches activity above , I want to remove all dollars like $893.00 , $5.99 etc using the ff. regex , but it does no work . any idea ? thanks.

(.*)\s\$\d[\d.]*([^\r\n]*)(?:\r?\n(?!\d+ )(.+))?
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(item,"(.*)\s\$\d[\d.]*([^\r\n]*)(?:\r?\n(?!\d+ )(.+))?" , "")

    Regex.Replace(item, @"\s*[+-]?\$\d*\.?\d+\s*$", "")
    

    Make sure you use a verbatim string literal, @"...", in C# code (it is not needed in VB.NET though), to be able to use a single \ as the regex escape char.

    The pattern means

    See the RegexStorm regex demo online (click the Context tab at the bottom to see the replacement result).
