Regular Expression matching new line

[Himanshu Rawat]

Hi,

I got a a pattern to match in a file. File got got below contents. ( Arrows are not part of file )

<paramters></parameters>

-->> 1

<parameters> </parameters>

-->> 2 a space

<parameters>
</parameters>

-->> 3 new line



I am able to match 1 and 2 like this

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("<parameters>\\s*</parameters>");

but not able to match 3rd one.

Please tell me how to do this?

This link should help you.

It would also be a good idea to give us more than the pattern -- as the regex engine has many many ways to match something.

John is right. You should especially check out the possible flags.
