    /\-\-\-\-\-BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-(.*?)\-\-\-\-\-END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-/ will reliably match and capture
    at least it will reliably compile. But . doesn't match \n unless you have the /s option for your regex. You were just one character away from code that actually works.
