Using option
--multiline
doesn't necessarily mean the user also wants--multiline-dotall
. The user may be certain about the number of new linesinvolved. For example, with this code snippet:
If I want to search all the #ifdef followed by a
else
statement, I can use regex#ifdef.*\n.*else
. If--multiline-dotall
is used, this regex will match morelines than I expected.
