Hi,
unfortunately, this is one limitation of the searching implementaion in PSPad
(that might be enhanced in future).
Searching works on individual lines rather than on the whole text at once, hence
the match cannot cross the newline boundary, as your pattern would require.
There are some workarounds in the current state, including scripting within
PSPad, but there are specific downsides too.
regards,
vbr
