Hi All
I am newbie to boost::regex.
I have a string including multiple new lines characters in it like the one
below.

"this is a big string\nthat I would like\ntoParse here:
WORD_TO_FIND=Ciao\nin the middle"

I tried the following regex but it doesn't match.

boost::regex ln0("WORD_TO_FIND=\t(?<SYMBOL>\\w+).+", boost::regex::perl );

Do you know what is the option and how to set it up
to enable the matching for an entire string and not line by line?
Thanks
