Hi, I'm a newbie regular expression user here and I need experts' help!! I need to have a Perl style regular expression that can match a string with either Mac style or PC style linefeed/carriage return in it. On Mac I believe you only have CR character and PC has CRLF as the way to represent the [Return]. For example, I might have this: This is a text Where on Mac, it is actually represented as This is a<CR>text Where if it's on PC it would be This is a<CR><LF>text I need to find a regular expression that matches the string across the platform where it basically ignores everything but the carriage return and line feed characters. I've read through the online documentation and saw /s modifier and thought I should be able to combine that with (.+?) to match either <CR> and/or <LF> but honestly don't know how to combine those elements. Thanks for the help!!! Ryo
