In PCRE the ? makes the .* not greedy. I just assumed that was supported
in rex as well. The string I'm parsing is XML, so I just need to figure
out how to make rex.match use multiline searches. In Perl you use the /m
flag, what's the equivalent in Lua?
In Lua, ".-" is the equivalent to Perl's ".*?". There's no equivalent to /m though. But you can use PCRE in Lua with Lrexlib [1].
