Re^4: Regex Problem - alternative searched

THANKS! A slight modification seems to work: (?s)

At first it appears a bit odd because of the negative lookbehind which looks like an XML Comment start ;-)

s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%

That works for Java? Cos it doesn't here. Though I have no idea what `(?s)` does, or what the equivalent perl would be, so I omitted it. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

I'm astonished you don't know (?s). It's the same as .../s just inside the regex. It makes the . match lineends too in telling the regex to treat the text as a (?s)-ingle line instead of (?m)-ultiple lines. search for "imsx-imsx" in perldoc perlre `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah! I've used the `(?s: ... )` form, but never seen or encountered it in the form you've used. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
