Do you mean the amount?

=MID(A1,FIND("$",A1),FIND(".",A1)+2-FIND("$",A1)+1)

Are you looking for something like this?

Sub test()
MsgBox cash$("aif2ffsdfij$39.99&3kgjcism")
MsgBox cash$("qe141$29.99.cw.e.3312")
End Sub

Function cash$(s$)
Dim pos1%, pos2%
pos1% = InStr(1, s$, "$")
pos2% = InStr(pos1%, s$, ".")
cash$ = Mid$(s$, pos1%, pos2% + 3 - pos1%)
End Function
