I believe you are looking for DOTALL, not MULTILINE. From the documentation: """ M MULTILINE When specified, the pattern character "^" matches at the beginning of the string and at the beginning of each line (immediately following each newline); and the pattern character "$" matches at the end of the string and at the end of each line (immediately preceding each newline). By default, "^" matches only at the beginning of the string, and "$" only at the end of the string and immediately before the newline (if any) at the end of the string. S DOTALL Make the "." special character match any character at all, including a newline; without this flag, "." will match anything except a newline. """ If you do a lot of working with regular expressions, then I highly recommend Kodos (http://kodos.sourceforge.net) as a tool for interactively figuring out issues.
