Thread: grep, print only word that matches pattern

i trying grep print out single word pattern. instance, want grep print out word has $ attached it, instance $zebras. have tried grep -o '$*', suggestions on how achieve this?

any word has $ attached it, instance $zebras

if mean literally character "$" in word, need escape special meaning of $ end-of-line character. in case grep \$zebras should work.
