how to multiline-search in a text widget

[jicote]

How to search two words that are in separate-
consecutive lines in a text widget using its
search command?

I have something like:

Test 23
PASS

Test 24
FAIL

so far, I am just able to find pattern within one line.

Thanks

according to the ManPage: "The matching range must be entirely within a single line of text. For regular expression matching the newlines are removed from the ends of the lines before matching: use the $ feature in regular expressions to match the end of a line. For exact matching the newlines are retained."

I guess you have to use the -regexp switch.
