Matching regex pattern where there is \n\r between starting and ending pattern

Question

• The red underscore is the desired string I want to match
• I would like to match all strings (including \n) between the the two string provided in the example
• However, in the first example, where there is a newline, I can't get anything to match
• In the second example, the regex expression works. It matches the string highlighted in Green because it resides on a single line
• Not sure if there is a notation I need to include for \n\r to be part of the pattern to match

Answer 1

Use this

output = re.search('This(.*?)\n\n(.*?)match', text)
>>> output.group(1)
'is a multiline expression'
>>> output.group(2)
'I would like to '

Answer 2

Try this one aswell:

output = re.search(r"This ([\S.]+) match", text).group(1).replace(r'\n','')

That will find the entire thing as one group then remove the new lines.
