Re: RegexpHeader not working with a regexp expression

Hi All,

I've decided to write an email about the RegexpHeader issue, I hope this
will help some other folks like me.
I had very similar problem to emerson, I was suppose to find a Copyright in
the header, but the statement could be anywhere inside the header. I don't
think it's possible to use RegexpHeader to solve it, but there is nice
Regexp stuff in Miscelanouse section which you can use. All is nice describe
here: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html#Regexp, I've used
it and it works.
It might have a side effect as it's searching whole file not only the
header, so be carefull using it.

Mine configuration is looking like this and it works:

        <module name="Regexp">
            <property name="format" value="(?s)^.*Copyright.*$"/>
        </module>

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Piotr
