Select multiple lines of data using regular expression?

Question

I am working on a macro in TextPad. I want to select multiple lines of data between two stars. For example:

abc
*
cvb
vvnbj
vnbvn
*
cvb

I want to select the three lines between two stars. How we can select these using regular expression in TextPad?

I don't know Texpads regex engine, but apparently you can use `\n` to specify newlines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7300732/multiline-regular-expression-with-textpad?rq=1 — SvenS, Apr 12 '13 at 11:04
There are bugs with textpad's `\n` in capturing groups unfortunately — LeonardChallis, Apr 12 '13 at 11:12

This regex string should capture the stars and whatever is in between.

\*[^*]+\*
