Hi

can someone help me ... I am trying to write an regulare expression 
that will deliver a part of an HTML file , the problem is some of the 
lines has 'new line' and "carrige return" characters , so the 
expression is evaluated till these characters , what I need is a way 
to tell it to ignore those and go on.

this is my expression :

<\s*LI.*>\s*<\s*A.*>.*<\s*/A.*>

the problem is in the third .* , this is not evaluated since the text 
is interrupted by a new line and continues on the next. the result is 
that these lines are skipped.

what do I need to add here in order to get those lines as well.

thanks for your help
