hello,
any regex gurus?
i'm trying to match words put into a <textarea>
that are in the form of a\np\np\l\e
or any combination of new lines in between, before
or after.  

$answer = "hello\na\np\np\nl\ne\n"; /*from textarea in form*/
$word = "apple";
$word = preg_replace("/(.)/","(.?|\s+|\n+|)$1(.?|\s+|\n+|)",$word);
preg_match("/".$word."/im",$answer,$match)

works.
but if

$word = "red apple";
$answer = "r\ne\nd\n\na\np\np\nl\e";

it doesn't match.


thanks in advance,
joe
