multiline regex expression

[eggie5]

This should have been an easy expression to build, but I can't figure
it out.



I just want to match any text between the <!--scripts--> and <!-
endscripts--> tag:



<!--scripts-->
<script src="assets/scripts/tabber.js" type="text/javascript"></
script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="management.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/prototype.js"></
script>

<script src="assets/scripts/scriptaculous.js" type="text/
javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/
MMSService.js"></script>

<!--endscripts-->

 

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=F6ran_Andersson?=]

<!--endscripts-->

<!--scripts-->([\w\W]*?)<!--endscripts-->

<!--endscripts-->

Or little easier:
<!--scripts-->.*?<!--endscripts-->

Be sure to set the option SingleLine for the regex. This migth sound
strange, but I'll try to explain. SingleLine does not mean to treat each
line, but to treat the whole input as one line. Normally the . won't
skip over a line end, but with this option on it will.
