Hi Michael,

Could you give an example of what patterns you want to write?

Something like text = "11\n abcd \n22" answer = text =~ "11.*22" :: <various possibilities> and have it find the entire string. The default behavior is to stop matching when it encounters a newline. There is mention in the Text.Regex.Posix docs of a flag to control this behavior, but it is not easy to figure out from the docs how to provide flags. The left-hand side of the =~ is a very complex type.
