Parsing functions (using Regex?)

I am trying to capture the contents of a function with Regex. I am using
Expresso to test (nice - thanks for the great tool UltraPico!). I can
handle my own with single line regex's (I think).. I want to have a
named capture of the entire 'contents' of specific functions.
EG: Sample code
<Description("{ 0} is a required field.")_
Protected Overridable Function AccountIDRequir ed(ByVal target As
Object, ByVal e As RuleArgs) As Boolean
Return mAccountID.ToSt ring.Length 0
End Function

I know the function name, and can easily match the first line:
Protected\sOver ridable\sFuncti on\sAccountIDRe quired.*

But the .* doesn't capture the newlines (/n). I want to capture
everything up to the End Function, so figured I could do something like:
(Protected\sOve rridable\sFunct ion\sAccountIDR equired.*End\sF unction)

If I know that it is always 3 lines (like the example) I could do:
Protected\sOver ridable\sFuncti on\sAccountIDRe quired.*\n.*\n. *

this matches my test perfectly, but I need it to match as many lines as
necessary until the End Function.

Can anyone help?

TIA!

Hi there, I have another question for .NET RegEx experts. I am reading in a C Sharp file line by line and I am trying to detect comments that start with either // of ///. What I am particularly interested is the comments themselves. I am interested in some stats with regards to the amount of comments in the file (comment bytes). So, I tried several regular expressions, but they don't seem to work in

I have been using an xml parsing script to parse a number of rss feeds and return relevant results to a database. The script has worked well for a couple of years, despite having very crude error-trapping (if it finds an error in one of the xml files, the script stops). Recently, the script has stopped working because one of the xml files is badly formed. So I decided to rewrite the script with better error trapping; the script should...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
