How do you match multiple lines with dot (DOTALL) in eclipse find regex

Question

I would like to convert this:

  def getEmployeeReminders(employeeId: Int, page: Option[Int], pageSize: Option[Int], js_callback: Option[String]) = Action {
          


        

Answer 1

You can use the (?s) inline mode modifier which will force the dot . to match newline characters as well. In your answer, you are using a negated character class so there is no need to use this modifier, and simply use \n

Find:    = (Action[^}]*})
Replace: = \n    Restrict(companyAdmin, new MyDeadboltHandler) {\n     \1}

Using the dot . instead:

Find:    (?s)= (Action.*?})
Replace: = \n    Restrict(companyAdmin, new MyDeadboltHandler) {\n     \1}
