THX Bob, I didn't get the multiline to work, but I did the desired results
with use of the \s and \S whitespace and non-whitespace shorthands.
<regex
pattern="^[\s\S]*${startstring}(?'matchedLines'[\s\S]*)[\s\S]*${endstring}"
input="${fileContent}"/>
<echo message="${matchedLines}" file="${outputfilename}" append="true"/>

Try adding options="Multiline" to your regex task.

Subject: [NAnt-users] regex: reading across lines
Hello,
I have a text file. I want to extract all of the lines that are between
two unique strings within the file. I've only been able to extract the
text that's between two strings, on a single line.
The file format is below, as well as the regex task. The problem is
that the regex only reads one line, I suspect due to my lack of
understanding of the regex wildcarding regarding newline characters.
Can anyone clear me up on this?
<unwanted lines>
fred red blue
<wanted lines>
Mary yellow brown
<unwanted lines>
<property name="infilename" value="D:\CI-TF-dev\tmp\dummy.txt"/>
<loadfile file="${infilename}" property="fileContent" verbose="false"/>
<regex pattern="^fred(?'outpp'.*)blue" input="${fileContent}"/>
<echo message="output: ${outpp}"/>
[echo] output: red
THX
Curt
