Regular expression to replace including new line

[jambalapamba]

Hi

I am trying to replace anything between <script> </script> tags including script, I am using the following regular expression

Regex.Replace(input, @"<script\b[^>]*>(.*?)<\ /script>", " ");

But the problem is if there is a newline
e.g:- <scirpt> sample
</script>

Its not working because "." matches except new line. Can any one help me with this


Thank You

Try this
Regex.Replace(input, "<script[^>]*>(.|\n)*</script[^>]*>", "");

Or if you want to keep the tags:
Regex.Replace(strX, "<script[^>]*>(.|\n)*</script[^>]*>", "<script></script>");

i found the answer using regex options which is very useful

string regex = "<script(.*?)</script>";
RegexOptions options = (RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace | RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
Regex reg = new Regex(regex, options);
string rep= reg.Replace(input, "anil");
