For functions use a regular expression like: function[\s\S]*{[\s\S]*}
This looks for function followed by zero or more of any character (including
newlines), followed by {, followed by zero or more of any character
(including newlines), followed by }.
For classes replace "function" with "class" above.
FYI: I use RegEx Buddy to help me with my regular expressions
http://www.regexbuddy.com/
(I am in no way affiliated with the company, just like the product).
I tested the function expression in that tool for JavaScript and it seemed
to work even when nesting.
What it wouldn't help you with is if you nested functions within functions
(like when declaring a function object). But I don't have time to fiddle
with that right now.
