[groovy-dev] escape character for $ in groovy

hi,

i have a method in groovy which gets a parameter as string. the string has a
value "This is to test $test_id. now i want to replace the $test_id with
"Missing". what is the exact escape character for $.

Note: the string which comes as a parameter has the $ symbol.

def static String replace(String footerText,  String replace)
   {
      footerText = footerText.replaceAll("\$",replace);

   }

in the above method the string footertext will hold "This is to test
$test_id". now i want to replace $test_id with "missing". but the above
replace statement doesn't work. 

can anyone tell the escape character for $ for the above scenario?

thanks
