Christopher,
here's a fully-working example that illustrates use of examples table in
parsing multi-line input:
https://svn.codehaus.org/jbehave/trunk/core/examples/trader/src/main/java/org/jbehave/examples/trader/scenarios/wildcard_search.scenario
Check out the
https://svn.codehaus.org/jbehave/trunk/core/examples/trader/src/main/java/org/jbehave/examples/trader/TraderSteps.java
for the implementation, in particular the method
List<Trader> parseTraders(String tradersTable)
Cheers

Do you mind positing a quick scenario file with an example of this?
Also, after thinking about this today, the situation I had in mind was
in this vein
Given these users
|name|rank|
|Larry|Stooge 3|
|Moe|Stooge 1|
|Curly|Stooge 2|
When I execute this wildcard search "%y"
Then I see
|Larry|Stooge 3|
|Curly|Stooge 2|
How might I represent this in a JBehave scenario file as well an ExamplesTable?

Hi Christopher,
yes, that is the intended scope of Scenario Examples.
But you can also use the ExamplesTable to parse your tabular input for
internal implementation in a step method.
@When("I do something with a table $tableContent")
public void doSomethingWithATable(String tableContent){
ExamplesTable table = new ExamplesTable(tableContent);
// use table to retrieve contents by row
}
The difference here is that you can use the entire table content in the same
scenario step, and not one line per scenario execution as when using the
Examples: keyword.
I've been meaning to had this use case to the docs, just have not got around
to it. In one of my current projects, we've found it quite useful in
cutting down files and making scenarios more expressive.
NOTE: if you are using Windows, you may still be bitten by the regex issue
for long table with repeated values, especially at start of the the lines.
Workaround, is to put the columns with most varying values as much to the
left as possible.
Cheers

It looks like just using the Examples approach should suffice.

Is there a way to get the effect of cucumber's multiline step feature
in JBehave?

This would be useful to set up data to test search functionality
without having to resort to an external file.
