multiline regex expression
This should have been an easy expression to build, but I can't figureit out.I just want to match any text between the <!--scripts--> and <!-endscripts--> tag:<!--scripts--> <script src="assets/scripts/tabber.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="management.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/prototype.js"></script> <script src="assets/scripts/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/MMSService.js"></script><!--endscripts-->
