Most common problem for people with regular expressions, repeat after me... dot does NOT match new line.

in unix dot means: [^\n]
in windows dot means: [^\r\n]

According to my regex pocket reference, dot "." means match (almost) any character except new line.

".*" means match any occurrence of any character.

To match a new line in a regular expression you would use "\n". The regular expression processor should be able to determine how new line is represented.
