Re: Text matching repost

[ckj]

Try using this:

 s# .* report [s]? .* ; .* ##sxlm;

to fetch multiple line and remove them you can use this too:

 s# .* report [s]? .*\s*.* ; .* ##sx;

UPDATE: Have you tried running this one, I am sure that it will give you exactly what you require. it's a minor change you need not to go for so many funda and new logic. it's doable via this method itself.
