Is there a grep special character that matches any character
including a line break? I find myself using (\s|\S) and suspect that
there must be a shorter way.
From the grep reference in BBEdit Help menu
s -- By default, the magic dot metacharacter . matches any
character except return ("\r"). If you turn this option on with
(?s) , however, dot will match any character. Thus, the pattern
(?s).+ will match an entire document.
So, the pattern to match any single character including line
breaks would be (?s).
