Hi Greg,

Looking at modify class _regexp of Ffc\_regexp.vcx method execute, it misses the multiline option.

LParameters tcStr, tlCaseMatters

Local loRegEx, loMatch, loMatches, i

loRegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
loRegEx.pattern = this.pattern
loRegEx.ignoreCase = !tlCaseMatters
loRegEx.global = .T.

loMatches = loRegEx.execute(tcStr)
Dimension this.matches[Max(loMatches.count,1),2]
taMatchInfo = .F.

i = 1
For Each loMatch In loMatches
	this.matches[i, 1] = loMatch.firstIndex + 1   && fox strings are not zero-based
	this.matches[i, 2] = loMatch.value
	i = i + 1
EndFor

loMatches = .F.
loRegEx = .F.

Return i -1

You need to instantiate "VBScript.RegExp" yourself:

loRegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
loRegEx.pattern = this.pattern
loRegEx.ignoreCase = !tlCaseMatters
loRegEx.global = .T.
loRegEx.multiline = .T.

Then this pattern should work:

(^[ \t]*(?=[_\u0041-\u005A\u005F\u0061-\u007A\u00C0-\u00D6\u00D8-\u00F6\u00F8-\u00FF\u0152-\u0153\u0160-\u0161\u0178\u0192#@&=\?\.\\](?!&))(?:(?:HIDD(?:E|EN)?|PROT(?:E|EC|ECT|ECTE|ECTED)?)(?:[ \t]+|(?:[ \t]*;\s*?(?=&&|$).*?$\s+)))*(?:FUNC(?:T|TI|TIO|TION)?|PROC(?:E|ED|EDU|EDUR|EDURE)?)
