does. Even in Java RegEx (used for CFMX 6.1), you have to set a switch to say
that ^ matched the beginning of each line rather than the beginning of the
entire file.
Note that in the description below, they say beginning of line as beginning of
the entire file, not the beginning of a single line of the file. A ^ will only
match the first line in a multi-line file.
