#105 Regular Expression Not Working
Hey Everyone,
AstroGrep is AWESOME, we use it almost daily for our IT team, and you all do a fabulous job making it better with each release! I have encountered an issue with a regular expression that I wanted to make you aware. Attached is a ZIP with details that include sample files, screen shots, readme, and everything you should need to dig into it further. I'm running Windows 7 and have tried this using AstroGrep 4.4.5 and 4.4.6, but neither version works.
This might be related to bug 99 that is described below, but I though it might be best to start a new ticket in case it is not related: https://sourceforge.net/p/astrogrep/bugs/99/
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise,
Cory

Thanks for the full details and examples, this will help track down the issue!
Small update, this is due to how AstroGrep currently reads a file and processes the regular expression, as it does it line by line. The reg ex in question is looking across lines which currently isn't supported :( Featured request 98 is to address this.
