Thanks for the reply Shay,
I just tried `n and it does work in strings, but I still couldn't get the
select-string cmdlet to select a string pattern over multiple lines.
Actually, I don't know whether select-string is able to do that or not (it
might only apply the search pattern on each line) or if i'm using wrong
regular expressions.
Any idea on that ?
Thanks,
Xavier
