A little help with RegEx (special characters)

Hi, I need a bit help with RegEx: I want it to match specific string (let's say: ABC), but only if it is at the end of the word. According to the syntax, I should use "\>" to mark end of the word so the whole string will be ABC\>

And basically it works, but only if the text I am looking for doesn't contain special characters, like dot or parenthesis. If the string is ABC. or ABC) , writing ABC.\> or ABC)\> won't match the looked string.

As I understood, for special characters I should use "escape mark" (\), but writing ABC\.\> or ABC\)\> doesn't work either.

@flying008 - it is a part of a bigger formula, I need to just finetune part of it. For the sample purposes I just put the part I am interested in :)
