I have a multiline file which I read into a String. In this String I need to find rows which are commented.
for example, from the following text:
#................... EPCT Product level setting ................................#......
export EPCT_PRODUCT="OMS"
#export SRC_DB=CHR81/CHR81@CHROMSE9 # EPC/Ref DB source connect string
#export TAR_DB=OMS1OMS/OMS1OMS@CHRDB454 # EPC/Ref DB target
I would like to find #export SRC_DB
For this i wrote the following regex: .*#\\s*export\\s+SRC_DB.*
When I tested it with a single line of text, it matched:
//this will return true:
"#export SRC_DB=CHR81/CHR81@CHROMSE9 # EPC/Ref DB source connect string".matches(".*#\\s*export\\s+SRC_DB.*")
But when trying to mach the multiline string, it doesn't match:
//this returns false
theFullText.matches(".*#\\s*export\\s+SRC_DB.*")
I've tried to add the (is) expression to the regext, as explained heree, but it still doesnt match:
//this also returns false
theFullText.matches("(is).*#\\s*export\\s+SRC_DB.*")
