Match and replace

Question

I have a long string and within that string I have the following text:

\"formatter\": \"SomeInformationHere\"

I need to fi

Answer 1

Most probably "the replacement seems to work as if the "singleline" option has been selected" beacause the initially used by you regex will match correctly up to the 14th symbol in

**"formatter": "SomeInformationHere"**

, but after that it will match every symbol nomatter what it is, including the next fist occurance of double quotes, and it will continue untill the first new line. That's how .* expression works because of it's greedness (Check greedy vs lazy regex). So I suppose that you have only to modify

"\"formatter\": ([\"]).*([\"])"

to

"\"formatter\": ([\"]).*?([\"])"
