RE: multi line string search

[SAN THO <saminside34@...>]

Hello,

   I was looking for a multi line string search for a specific pattern,
Following is an example :
 
   local str="this is sample text with lots of symbols [test]<test>*test* and it's multiline too [10,000 words]"
   local pattern=<test>

how do i find the pattern in this case ?

Can you be more specific, a sample case maybe, otherwise I would just be
retyping the manual here...
