I'm trying to match dollar amounts greater than $500. Signals that it's a dollar amount would be a dollar sign or a decimal point with 2 zeros.
I put my try so far plus sample data at the following link. Any help would be appreciated!

4Why do you want to use regex for this? – anubhava Apr 10 '14 at 17:05

2`parseFloat(dollars.replace('$','')) > 500` – adeneo Apr 10 '14 at 17:06

1because I have a gmail search script that I'm leveraging that takes a regex as input and returns search results. – Jody G Apr 10 '14 at 17:06

Seems weird to validate a number greater than with a regular expression, but it would be something like this
^\$([5-9]\d{2}|[1-9]\d{3,})\.\d{2}$
Uses an or to do the validation of the range.
[5-9]\d{2}< matches range from 500 to 999[1-9]\d{3,}< matches 1000 +

This one is close but there are a few issues I'm trying to work around on it. First, it matches 500.0 but probably shouldn't. $500 yes and $500.00 yes and 500.00 yes but probably not 500.0. Also, it seems to match 1000 and probably shouldn't. $1000 yes and 1000.00 yes but probably not 1000. – Jody G Apr 10 '14 at 17:35
