multiline regex matching

[skepley]

I am trying to match a regular expression over multiple lines in a macro and it doesn't seem to work. It also doesn't work in the find menu which makes me wonder if there is something subtle about the regex implementation. I thought it was based on javascript. But then the following regex:

ab([\s\S]*)c

should match the text:

ab
c

but it does not. However, if I remove the line break e.g.

ab c

it matches without issues. Is there some special syntax I need to use for matching over multiple lines? Thanks.

txs search only works per line.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to find some workaround.
