Hi David! Inserting a new line
in the regular expression so that line endings/transitions are matched may help. After that my multi-line regexp work. I wonder if the ant regexp multi-line mode is platform dependent as far as the line endings are concerned? Or if I missed something. :) Regards, Oliver > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17.
