>Regular Expressions in Code References search on each line independently,
Did not know that. But in any case, regex can match across line boundaries. But you have to add the newline chars to the pattern since the dot does not match a newline

	local obj
	local s
	text to s noshow
		delete
		
		c 
		xds
		well same as well
	
	endtext
	
	obj = createobject('VBScript.RegExp')
	obj.multiline = false
	obj.global = true
	obj.IgnoreCase = true
	

	obj.Pattern = '\bdelete\b(.*[\n].*)*\bsame\b'
	
	
	matches = m.obj.Execute(m.s)
	?matches.count
	for each match in m.matches
		?' .'
		?'<' + match.Value +'>', match.length
	endfor
