I am curious why my Regex would not work when like this

tableName = Regex.Replace(tableName, "'$", "")

But worked fine like this:

tableName = tableName.Replace("$", "");

Because the two are not the same? I don't know what you intend the "'$" to do, but as far as I know it won't be anything useful in Regex. I don't think it's the same as "find all instances of the '$' character".

I think probably you want "\$" as your expression, but of course there remains the question of why use Regex when the String.Replace() method already does exactly what you want. The String method will be much more efficient too.
