The UltraEdit text editor includes a Perl and Unix compatible regular expression engine for searching.

I want to be able to match a string line this:

<branch id='attribute'>     <leaf id='attribute'/>     <leaf id='attribute'/>     <leaf id='attribute'/> </branch> 

With something like this:

/<branch id='attribute'>.*</branch>/gis 

Is there a way to accomplish this using UltraEdit?

    If you have Perl regular expressions selected, you can do something like:

    <branch id='attribute'>[\s\S]*</branch> 

    where \s is any whitespace character, including newline and return and \S is any other character. Note that this is greedy by default, so if you have the following string:

    <branch id='attribute'>   <leaf id='attribute'/>   <leaf id='attribute'/>   <leaf id='attribute'/> </branch> <branch id='attribute'>   <leaf id='attribute'/>   <leaf id='attribute'/>   <leaf id='attribute'/> </branch> 

    then the one regular expression will find the ENTIRE string as one match. If you don’t want to do this, then add ? as follows:

    <branch id='attribute'>[\s\S]*?</branch> 

    As you can see from the answers, there are many ways to accomplish this in UltraEdit!

    NOTE: Tested with UltraEdit 14.20.
