note 101090 rejected from function.preg-match by thiago

Note Submitter: lists dot p at jynxy dot net ---- I have a problem with multiline matching of .* not being as greedy as it should be. If I use: preg_match("/([^\n\r,]+)[\n\r,](.*)/ms", $addr,$out) The second parenthesis-expression containing the ".*" should surely match to the end of a multiline string. Instead it just seems to match to the next newline - or something similar. The idea was that the $1 parameter contains the first part of the string up to the first newline or comma, while $2 contains the rest. I can work around it but I don't see why it doesn't work. Is this a bug?
