I am trying to search for a match inside a text that contains the words:

[IF (anytext) [OF] (anytext).... endofline

in a given text, I have tried this pattern without luck:

^(\[IF(.*?)\[OF\]).*$

It works if the text is only one line, but when I feed in a full text with several lines it doesnt works.

`^` and `$` are the start and end of the string. If you want start and end of the line, use the `m` modifier. – Niet the Dark Absol Nov 27 '17 at 19:44

@JoseG Please add your code so we can reproduce the issue. – chris85 Nov 27 '17 at 19:59
@JoseG If adding `s` or `m` or both modifiers does not solve your issue, you must clarify the issue by posting the code you are using and explaining what behavior you get and what behavior you expect. – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 27 '17 at 20:23
OMG you are absolutely right, I dont know why I had the ^ and $ in my code, I removed it and now works. thank you very much! – Jose G Nov 27 '17 at 20:59
