[Tutor] really basic - finding multiline chunk within larger chunk

[bruce]

Hi.

I've got a test, where I have a chunk of text "a" and a subset of text
"s2a". the subset is multiline.

For some reason, can't seem to return true on the find. I've pasted in
http://fpaste.org/323521/, but the following is an example as well.
(not sure if the psuedo code listed actually shows the chunks of text
with the whitespace correctly.

Obviously, this is an "example" not meant to be real code!!

Thoughts on what I've screwed up?

Thanks

          else:
