How to Capture Multiple Line String using Regular Expression?

[TailOfGon]

Hi, 

I have a simple program like this:

What I want to accomplish is to capture everything between >>start and >>end using a single Match Regular Expression node. It seems that setting multiple? to True or False does not help.

I am using LabVIEW 2012.

If it is impossible to capture it using a single node, that is fine. But I want to make sure that I can make full use of this node without combining serveral others.

Thank you!

>>start([\w\s]*)>>end

A dot matches any single character except line break characters.  You've got two of them.

Thank you for the fast response! Your solution worked in the example case 🙂

After I saw your post, I was finally able to step forward. But I still wanted to make use of dot notation due to the limitation of characters that match with \w. 

I made some more modification to your regular expression then now it seems working for all characters:

>>start((?:\s|.)*)>>end

Thanks!
