Automate adding content to multiple table cells.

Need to add "$" to multiple cells in many tables. I'm hoping to automatically, like find and replace. Would there be a GREP for this? It's for French figures, so the "$" is at the end of the cell, i.e., "345 $".

    Just select a table and play this regex:

     

    Find: \d\K$

    Replace by:  $

    (I mean: a normal space + a dollar)

      As a start:

      // select a table and run the script
var curSel = app.selection[0];

if (curSel.constructor.name == "Table") {
    var allCells = curSel.cells;
    for (var c=0; c<allCells.length; c++) {
        var curCell = allCells[c];
        if (curCell.contents != "") {
            curCell.contents = curCell.contents + " " + "$";
        }
    }
} else {
    alert("Pls select a table");
}
