Can't make regex ignore line terminator

[mobilityguy]

I've gotten this problem fixed in-house. Thanks for looking.

Hi all,
I'm not new to Java, but I am new to this community and I didn't see a more appropriate forum to post this question. I'm trying to break apart a block of HTML code by extracting the text between "</table>" and "<br /><br />". In the middle of this block are several instances of "<br />\x0d\x0a<br />" , the two break tags separated by a carriage return/line feed pair. I'm using the regex

"</table>(.*?)<br /><br"

which always matches the first instance of "<br />\x0d\x0a<br />" . I'm running Eclipse 3.4, and I've turned on the Pattern.DOTALL and Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE flags. I tried turning on PATTERN.MULTILINE, which, as expected, didn't help. I tried explicitly testing for the line terminator with

"</table>(.*?)<br />[^\\x0d\\x0a]*?<br"

The added regex terms have no effect - I get exactly the same match as I do without them. If I remove the *? quantifier, the regex fails. If I quote the "\\x0d\\x0a", the regex fails.

I've hexdumped the HTML code and I can see that the CR and LF are there, but the regex seems blind to them. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks,
Rich Stillman

Post a sample of the text and the expected result.

The text I'm searching is:

<td style="vertical-align: top;"><span class="title">Miss Saigon</span><br /><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 98%"><tr><td><b>May 01 - May 16</b></td><td align="right"><b>Salt Lake City</b></td></tr></table>In a war-torn land, two lovers find each other, lose each other. And find each other again one last time.<br />
<br />
By the creators of Les Misérables, this epic musical of star-crossed lovers set in the closing days of the Vietnam War has moved and thrilled audiences around the world. <br />

I'm trying to match the "<br /><br />" after "mature themes.". Instead, I match the "<br />\x0d\x0a<br />" after "one last time."

Thanks for looking.
