Subject: Newbie Regexp question

Moi,
I'm new to ruby and even to regular expression, so I fear these might be 
super simple. 2 Questions

I have a string (actually a java inner class file name) like
 >name = "com.foo.Outer$Inner.class"

and want to replace $ with \$ (for the shell)
 >name.sub!(/\$/,"\\\$")
doesn't work while
 >name[\$/] = "\\\$"
does.

And the other one is with a line (from a config file) like
 line = "option.name = "value 1" "value 2" "

and I'd like an expression that
1 gets me the stuff after the = , and whatever I do the = is always part 
of the result
2 an expession that I could use with split that gets an array [ 
"option.name","value 1" , "value 2"]

Thanks
    Torsten
