python get specific string from an original string

The specific string I want to get is begin with '$' and end with more than one '=' , such as '$AA78B=' or '$\\BA\\\\=='.

So the regular express should be '\$.*?\=+'. Why '\$'? because '$' is regular express character, if we want to match '$', we need use '\$' as regular express. The same to '\=' 

And the original string should be ingore '\'. so repr() is needed.

Here is the code.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#

import re

def get_specific_string(string,start,end):
	target_string = start+'.*?'+end+'+'
	print(target_string)
	find_strs = re.findall(target_string,string)
	return find_strs

if __name__ == "__main__":
	string = "abc$234A\\B==45$IBAI="
	print(repr(string))
	my_strs = get_specific_string(repr(string),'\$','\=')
	for str_item in my_strs:
		print(str_item)

If the specific string use '\n' as end, what regular express we should use? r'\$.*?\\n'. 

#!/usr/bin/env python
#

import re

def get_specific_string(string,start,end):
	target_string = start+'.*?'+end	#r'\$.*?\\n'
	print(target_string)
	find_strs = re.findall((target_string),string)
	return find_strs

def parse_string(string):
	src_string = repr(string)
	print("string:" + string)
	print("repr string is:"+src_string)
	cmd_strs = get_specific_string(src_string,r'\$',r'\\n')
	for cmd_str in cmd_strs:
		print("cmd:"+ cmd_str)
		src_string = src_string.replace(cmd_str,'')
		print("remove cmd:" + src_string)
	return src_string,cmd_strs

if __name__ == "__main__":
	string = "abc$234A\\B==\n45$IBAI\\\\=\\n"
	logstr,cmds=parse_string(string)
	print("log:" + logstr)
	for cmd in cmds:
		print("return cmd:" + cmd)
		for c in cmd:
			print("cmd char:" + c)

regular express '\\\\' means '\' in string.

regular express r'\\' means '\' in sting.

so regular express r'\\n' means '\n' in string.
