To be more precise, the /m modifier considers ^ and $ as normal \n characters. The $ is not considered as the end of a line but just as a \n character. Same for the ^. That said, it should eventually match all the lines given to the regular expression. The problem is that mIRC has no method of permitting a 'multiline' read. Maybe that can be done with a binary variable, I've never used them. I shall start in not much time :s if I continue in the way of finding a possible solution. Nevertheless, you could still use regexps to parse the web page's source code 'line by line'. Just show us exactly the piece of source that you wish to parse. There may be some other solutions (maybe binary variables ) rather than using multiline-activated regexps. Cordialement tropnul

You can add all line you want into it but i think there an issues here, when you'll try to use $regex or equivalent with you variable, i think mirc will give an error because the string could be too long.Parsed this line by line is the best solution imo #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

Code: Alias MultilineRegexp { Var %rx.parser = /^(<tr>.?(<a.href="([^"]+)">[^<]+<\/a>\|<th>([^<]+)<\/th>).?<\/tr>)$/mg Var %rx.inf = inrx.txt , %rx.outf = outrx.txt Filter -ffg %rx.inf %rx.outf %rx.parser } Where inrx.txt contains: <tr><th> <a href="LINK1">blablabla</a> <a href="LINK2">blablabla</a> <a href="LINK3">blablabla</a></th> <th>SOMETHING1</th> <th>SOMETHING2</th> <th>SOMETHING3</th> <th>SOMETHING4</th> <th>SOMETHING5</th> </tr> <tr> same thing blahblah </tr> <tr> same thing blahblah </tr> <tr> same thing blahblah </tr> But still, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong ? tropnul

Code: alias filt { .fopen -no t t.txt .fwrite t hello $+ $lf $+ you there .fclose t window @t filter -fw t.txt @t * bread t.txt 0 30 &t var -s %x = $bvar(&t,1-).text noop $regex(%x,/^(.?)$/mg) echo -a Multiline matching matched $regml(0) lines: $regml(1) & $regml(2) noop $regex(%x,/^(.?)$/) echo -a Singleline matching matched $regml(0) lines: $regml(1) .remove t.txt } If you dont use /mg on this buffer ^$ will match the start and end of the entire buffer instead of all the lines within that buffer. However mIRC doesnt like ^$ without /mg if there's an $lf in the string. $maybe
