<xsl:apply-templates select="Alph" mode="frobit"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="Bob" mode="zap"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="Cam"/>I want to match the two statements with the
mode="frobit", even though the first one has a carriage return in the middle. In VS, you'd use this regex statement to match just the first and last lines, skipping Bob with mode="zap":select.*\n@.*mode="frobit"
The first bit,
select.*\n, is standard Perlish for "match from the word select to the end of line character, \n."The at sign @ is VS's way of asking "please can you find zero or more carriage returns, but only as few as needed." The alternative is the "greedy" match, using an asterisk *, which says "find as many lines as you can ending in carriage returns before you hit
mode="frobit", so the match in this case would make one giant match, including all of the text from select="Alph" all the way to the last "frobit" on Cam, capturing poor Bob in the middle along the way.
