Subject: Matching pattern in multiple lines


Hello All,
   Thanks for the useful informations given on my previous queries.Now I
have another one query.
Please help me.
In pattern matching,I want to match a pattern in multiple line.How to do
this?.
For example,in a file,the pattern is present in 2 lines,
Here my doubts are:
  1.Whether need to use "/n" to distinguish between 2 lines,when decalring
them?
     Or anyother operator needed to be used?.
    (ie) $pattern="text in 1st line "/n" text in secondline";
          $replace="some text";
  2. Whether to specify any options in the "s/$pattern/$replace/g" command?

Thanks inadvance,
 Prabu.


It is not "/n" but "\n"

USE :
$*=1;
Don't use \n, but you can use '^'to match just after '\n'

thanks,
Jay
