[Boost-users] match multiline regular expression

I am trying to match (case insenstive) the following two lines with a
single regular expression, but somehow it doesn't work using boot
regex:

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:
   Basic ..................................................        $
4.38            $    3.90            $    3.37

where:
1) there might be spaces before "NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE"
2) there might be spaces after "NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE"
3) the semicolon might be optional

^(\\s*)?Net income per common share:?(\\s*)?\\r\\n( *)?basic

Any one has suggestions?
