// File: Regex_not_working_as_intended_solution_20090823.js
// Purpose: Answer "Regex not working as intended" UE32 regex thread question.
// Directions: Set the file you wish to search as the active file before running this script.
// Notes: The regex in this script works for files having either DOS or Unix line terminations.
// The line termination sequences are captured along with the matched lines of text.
// It also matches text at the very end of the string (with no line termination on last line).
// Script progress and search results are written to the output window.
// Matches from files having Unix line terminations, will look kind of funny with
// the '\n' line terminator displayed as little squares in the output window.
// The contents of the currently selected clipboard are cleared.
// The file pointer is reset to the top of the file.
// No files are modified.

// local variables
