in thread Parsing multiline string line by line

i was sure there would be some way of doing it with regex, but i don't quite understand what's happening here: first iteration it will match a string of non-newline chars (first line), but how does it know to continue on the "second (etc.) line" on the rest of the iterations of the while loop?

thanks for reply!!

    Perhaps it's a truism that for any computational process, there is a regex of arbitrary complexity which will solve it.
