Regex matching in spec file

[Truett Kueck]

I'm having issues with matching text using regex in a spec file. Specifically I'm trying to match the string with an endash character. I've verified the regex works using http://regexr.com/ and http://www.regexplanet.com/advanced/java/index.html

Problem string: $92.45–$128.88

Regex: "\\$[0-9]+.[0-9]+\\u2013\\$[0-9]+.[0-9]+"

Spec code: 

text matches "\\$[0-9]+.[0-9]+\\u2013\\$[0-9]+.[0-9]+"

Error message:

  "priceText" text is "$74.95?$129.95" but should match "($[0-9]+.[0-9]+\u2013$[0-9]+.[0-9]+)"

The question mark is likely due to cmder on windows not parsing the endash well.

I managed to get this to work by using the regex "[$][0-9]+[.][0-9]+[\\u2013][$][0-9]+[.][0-9]+"
