Hello together, I am havin trouble with php regular expressions. I would like to implement following pattern "Last Name:\s*(.*)\n". - From following text, Name: James Last Name: Jason Street: abc I get just 'Jason'. But what I currently get is: Jason Street: abc Obviously the new-line is missed. Any thoughts on this? sample code: ereg("Last Name:\s*(.*)\n", $strInput, $regs) echo $regs[1]; Thanks for the help! Cheers, Arik

Donno about regular expressions but with perl compatible you can use: preg_match('/Last Name:\s*(.*)\n/', $inputStr, $regs);
