oh, I didn't notice that matched the third line. Unforunately, I don't agree with your solution. That is to say I don't think we can provide a solution with the information he provided us. For example, all of the following match his criteria, yet all are different:
- /\b\Q$find\E\b/
- /(?<!\S)\Q$find\E/(?!\S)
- /\Q$find\E/(?!\.)
- /\Q$find\E$/
- /\Q$find\E$/m
- /\Q$find\E\z/
- ...
The op should have a look at perlre. (Or should I say "another look" since he should already have looked there when he started having problems with his regexp...)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
