Issue with RegEx on specific field
Best Answer
-
It looks like maybe not all RegEx is created equally and the language the RegEx is implemented in can require slight variations.
I found this thread on Stack Overflow that shows a couple different variations on it. Magic ETL may be using javascript in the background or it might be something else. Try a couple of those variations and see if you can get some different results.

It looks like for multiline RegEx you may need to add '/s' at the end of your expression in order to ensure all lines get searched. It's also possible that you'll need [\s\S] Let me know if either of those helps.

Thanks for the reply. I just tried several combinations of what you suggested below at the end of the line but nothing changed. Do I need to write "[\s\S]" just like that or is that a \s or \S? And that goes at the end of the statement?
The weird thing that I just noticed is that if I use a regex to replace the 1st line of data with an empty string, I can do the same for the 2nd, and 3rd, and so on. But I can't create 50 regexes for 1 field.
