Regex - multiline matching
#1
Hi,

i want to find capture the text between "merge" and "replace". I tried different combos but I can't get it to work.

Here's my text

DO NOT MERGE THE FILES do this to each one individually
REPLACE

Here's are the regex matching patterns that I've tried

;merge.+?replace

;merge.*?replace

;merge(.*)replace

Here's the code I tried using

Code:
Copy      Help
if(0=findrx(s pattern 0 1|4|8 list_of_1_section)) end "not found"

i made used the flags: insensitive, find all, and multi-line but I keep getting "no match found"

Please help.

Uh oh, something went wrong. That code above worked when there was one match, but would erroneously grab all the text when I created test data that had multiple matches. See test data below. I already set it to save matches to an array and include multiple matches.

I'm not sure what else I need to do.

Code:
