I+IBk-m trying to a regular expression search and replace for things like this:
doc: text text next line next line+ADw-/a:documentation+AD4-
What I can+IBk-t figure out is how to do this multi-line regular expression match. If use +IBw-dot matches all+IB0- then my match is not limited to just what+IBk-s shown but everything between the first doc: and the last +ADw-/a:documentation+AD4-.
If do e.g. +IBw-doc:(.)+ADw-/a:documentation+AD4gHQ- then it matches cases where it all happens to be on one line.
Is this possible? What bit of regex fu am I missing?
I think it is the use of "\n". Try this to include all of the lines: doc:((.|\n)*?):documentation (note that I'm guessing what your boundaries are because of a mailer problem) I hope this helps. . . . . . . . .
