Session Settings - UnimportantText ... multiline regex?

[CADbloke]

Greetings

Is it possible to use a multiline regex for unimportant text? For instance, in RegexBuddy's .NET setting, this matches multiple lines from "startString" to the ; that terminates the statement many lines later ...

startString.*(?:\r?\n.*)*?;

But it only matches the first line in BC4. Mode modifiers like "(?s)" don't seem to make a difference.

Sorry, Beyond Compare doesn't support multiline regex.

The only way to match on multiple lines in Beyond Compare is using a delimited grammar element in a file format. Unimportant text in the Importance tab of Text Compare session settings only supports plain text and single line regular expressions.
