Method RegEx():setDotAll()

Sets dot-all mode.

:setDotAll( [<lDotAll>] ) --> self

Set to .T. (true) to enable dot-all mode. A value of .F. (false) disables the feature. Defaults to .T.

This method returns self.

In dot-all mode (also called single-line mode), the dot metacharacter matches any character including the newline characters. By default, the dot metacharacter does not match newline characters.

Set dot-all mode

oRegEx := RegEx():create("START.*END"):setDotAll() 
? oRegEx:test("START" + Chr(10) + "middle" + Chr(10) + "END")  // .T. 
oRegEx:destroy()
