I’m trying to match
<!-- Start Comment
content spanning several lines here
End Comment -->
And I figured something like this would do the trick:
(<!-- Start Comment).*(End Comment -->)
but the . is not matching newlines. How do I get it to recognize my entire block which contains a host of different characters including newlines?
It doesn’t seem that Notepad++ handles newlines very well. This page has some creative workarounds, though:
