[RESOLVED] RegEx / Multiline

Yet another RegEx question. I have a file that sometimes contains this exact set:

Code:

---

ExceptionData = {
}

---

Code:

---

ErrorMsgs = {
}

---

I'm trying to make it so if either of those exactly match, to remove them from the string since it causes an error if they contain no data between the { }.

I tried a few different methods, but I can seem to match it because the } is on a new line.

Any ideas?

try this:

vb Code:

Dim testStr As String = "ExceptionData = {" & Environment.NewLine & "}" & _
Environment.NewLine & "ErrorMsgs = {" & Environment.NewLine & "}"
testStr = Regex.Replace(testStr, "(ExceptionData|ErrorMsgs) = {\r\n}", "").Trim

if it doesn't work, post the rest of the file you're working with. it should work as it is though.

Worked perfectly. Thanks!
