I forgot to add how you would do it (if you can.) The link I quoted says that yo can put any search term between quotes, so you put a space immediate;ly before the end-of-line character. Using the $, it would be ' $' or perhaps '* $'. You need somebody who can write Windows scripts, the kind of thing for the command line near the bottom of that link. I have never done it in practice.
