Hi guy,
$ is an anchor point to the end of a line in regular expression
Use \$

Try :

Code:
sed 's/\$/RS/g' <table.txt

OR
Code:
awk 'gsub(/\$/,"RS")+1' <table.txt

's/\$/RS/g'
Substitutes new value RS to all occurrences of the $, where \ is escape character.

from Man Page https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/man...2-Command.html

Code:
g   Apply the replacement to all matches to the regexp, not just the first.

Here is an example
Code:
[akshay@aix tmp]$ echo 'abc abc' | sed 's/a/N/'
Nbc abc

[akshay@aix tmp]$ echo 'abc abc' | sed 's/a/N/g'
Nbc Nbc
