Regular expression for selecting procedure of classic asp

Question

How do I select a procedure written in classic asp with regular expression. For example:

Sub SubName
   'sub implementation having multi line statements. It may have comments also.
End Sub

How do I select the multi line procedure using the regular expression?

My objective: To obtain all the procedure listed in all ASP pages within a specified folder and merge it in one file. So I am searching for a regular expression that will yield procedures which I can collect and append in one file for debugging purposes.

What's your version of Notepad++? Older versions have trouble doing multiline matches in regex mode. — SQB, Feb 24 '14 at 07:23

This will match a sub (assuming . matches all):

^\s*(Sub.*?)^\s*End Sub

This also assumes that there are no multiline comments, which Lankymart assures me can't happen, and that both Sub and End Sub are on their own line.

VBScript doesn't support multi-line comments all lines have to start with `'`. – user692942 Feb 20 '14 at 09:40
Sorry that does not work. it did not result any results. – Kashif Khan Feb 24 '14 at 07:22
Did you check the box for `.` matches newline, as per [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9561676/2936460)? – SQB Feb 24 '14 at 08:18
If you did, try `^\s*(Sub.*?End Sub)` – SQB Feb 24 '14 at 08:19
