Regular Expressions match any character including line breaks

Regular Expressions can use. * to match any character other than line breaks. But how can I match any number of line breaks in the content? Matching fails. However, you can use [\ s] *?.

For example, enter:

<Url = "http://www.ibm.com"> This is some text

Another line

</URL>

Third Line

Some text here, <TLB = "IBM. com"/> end

Other

The regular expression matching the URL and TLB content is:

<Url = "(? <URL> [^ "] *?)"> [\ S] *? <TLB = "(? <TLB> [^ "] *?)" /> End

Description:

\ S matches any non-blank characters
. Match any single character except line breaks.
