Theoretically speaking, this would probably only work with a two-line string, 
correct? If so, is there a way to do it generically, i.e. where you don't know 
how many newlines may be in the string nor on which line the desired match may 
exist, similar to //s in Perl?

That works.  It's a bit painful compared with m// so I still wish for that 
:)  Still thanks for the clarification and your patience with my 
stubbornness.
