[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? /Winson
