Using preg_replace in multiline

[RicoCali]

I have a situation where I am parsing a file and looking for two combined lines that meet the criteria. Unfortuneately, Regular Expression evaluates per line...unless I'm ignorant about something. Is there a way to match more then one line as a combination and replace text from both lines with regular expression?

TIA,
Rico

if it has line breaks recorded in it, be sure your expression contains the line break character when you try to match the two lines... (not sure how, but you can look it up)

if that doesnt work, perhaps the other set of reg exp functions would work (reg instead of preg for example).
