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

place the following at very beginning of the 'find' expression: (?s) also note, we use \R to insert a newline:

Example:

find:      (?s)= (Action[^}]*})
replace:   = \R    Restrict(companyAdmin, new MyDeadboltHandler) {\R     \1}

This takes something like this:

  def getEmployeeReminders(employeeId: Int, page: Option[Int], pageSize: Option[Int], js_callback: Option[String]) = Action {
      val reminders = Reminder.listForOne(employeeId, page, pageSize)
      getResponse(reminders, js_callback)
    }

And replaces it with this:

  def getEmployeeReminders(employeeId: Int, page: Option[Int], pageSize: Option[Int], js_callback: Option[String]) =
    Restrict(companyAdmin, new MyDeadboltHandler) {
      Action {
        val reminders = Reminder.listForOne(employeeId, page, pageSize)
        getResponse(reminders, js_callback)
      }
    }
