How do we match any single character including line feed in Perl regular expression?
- by bobo
I would like to use UltraEdit regular expression (perl) to replace the following text with some other text in a bunch of html files:
<style type="text/css">
#some-id{}
.some-class{}
//many other css styles follow
</style>
I tried to use <style type="text/css">.*</style> but of course it wouldn't match anything because the dot matches any character except line feed. I would like to match line feed as well and the line feed maybe either \r\n or \n.
How should the regular expression look like?
Many thanks to you all.
