I'm suspicious of the /s as well.) Are you trying to write a single pattern that will identify a particular ten lines of C code? That could really be a hard pattern to write correctly on the first try. Of course, since you haven't told us what's in $source or $diff, or what you're trying to print, there's no telling what's really going wrong. (Could $diff be the contents of an actual diff file, i.e. a patch file? That's not going to work....) What are you really trying to accomplish? Can you boil your problem down to a short yet complete example program that other people could run to see what you're trying?
