Re^3: Multi-line string regex and negative inline match

by looking at the given regex, it fails because of the header column, So you'll have to either remove the header column or account for its existence.

qr/\A.*?-(?:[^|]*\|\s*activate complete\s*\|[^\n]*\n?)*\z/ms; Mabye?

I would simply insert `(?:[^\n]\n){2}` after the `\A`. `qr/(?x: \A (?:[^\n]\n){2} (?: [^\|]* \\| \s* activate[ ]complete \s* \\| [^\n]* \n? )* \z )/ms;` [download] For the finicky, `[^\|]` could be changed to `[^\|\n]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I guess my problem was that I had an extra empty line with a newline at the end of the string, if I remove the newline the regex matches (thank you). I'll just have to match for 0 or 1 potential newlines	[reply]
