[cl-ppcre-devel] Multi-line-mode

I have been using cl-ppcre for quite some time - great program library, thx! - but I am now looking to match multi-line data, and Iøm having some difficulties...

I would expect

(scan (create-scanner ".+" :multi-line-mode t) (concatenate 'string '(#\a #\Newline #\b)))

to match all three characters, but it matches only #\a. I downloaded cl-ppcre from CVS just now to check that this occurs in the most recent version; I'm using Lispworks 4.3.6. CMUCL 18d seems to behave the same way.

Can I make :everything (".") match multiple lines of input, and if so, how?

Any help much appreciated.

best,

-Klaus.
