Ticket #400, comment 5
v1 v2 1 1 We can solve this by adding to the search dialog a "[x] Search over lines" checkbox what would turn off the "`current_chr == '\n'`" check I quoted in comment 4. This would make the text accumulate in one giant string instead of line-by-line (but we should set some limit in case one searches in a 20 terabyte file...). 2 2 3 If we detect a newline in the regexp, we'll search-over-lines automatically. But having a checkbox is good for the case one wants to search for things like "`struct {.*?}`", where it's a dot that stands for a newline.3 If we detect a newline in the regexp, we'll search-over-lines automatically. But having a checkbox is good for the case one wants to search for things like "`struct \{.*?\}`", where it's a dot that stands for a newline.
