Hi.
You're not inviting people to reply to you because:
- you don't have a real name in your 'From:'
(You have a personal mail account, so why not supply
your name?)
- You have a line in your message 127 characters long,
which isn't helped by your 24-character indent.
(Try to summarise your post within a 72-character
margin. If example data exceeds that then attach it
instead of putting it in-line)
It took me about five minutes to see your intention, "'midst
the winter snow," but your problem is that you have multi-line
data which you expect to be spanned by (.*). If you add the
/s (single-line) qualifier to your regex test then a dot will
also match "\n".
HTH,
