Hi all!
I have a preformatted text where I want to run a regular expression. The text is something like :

codeA
*->refbrjkgbrkjgbrjukbgreukgbrukgbegurebgrek

klgfhnrjkgnrjgbrejkgbrjkbegjkrbbrkegbrejb

reopjgporejytopjrotjrphjpojprhjtporhtjrph

codeB
*->4p3tuop43tu4optj4rofdgfnreklfnrklefnrkenr

ropeturojgorejgeolgjrelgjrlgrhelkghelghlg

regjrejgoejeojigjreilgjelgjrilgjlerjgelrj

From each 'paragraph', I want to match the part under codeA and codeB

The problem I have is with matching the newline characters. I write :

preg_match('/code.{1}\n\*->(.*)\ncode./')
but it doesn't match... I think the problem is the newlines

On default, preg_* ignores newlines when searching a string. I mean it sees them, but it only uses the first line.

To get around this, you just add s to the end of the expression.

preg_match('/expression/s', $string);
