RegExp - Not matching?

[Steveiwonder]

Hey all,

I'm a little stuck on this one, it doesnt seem to be matching.

This is an example,

The text will always start "Result for circuit" then followed by anything including whitespace and new lines but always ends with a "." which is where the match should stop. I may be missusing(?s) im not sure but it won't work.

$text = "Result for circuit JEPC123456" & @CRLF & "this is the result and could be antyhign@:@~@}{}=-=."
$regexp = StringRegExp($text, "Result for circuit([A-Z]*[0-9]*)(?s)\.") ; match "Result for circuit 

If $regexp Then
    msgbox(0,"Match", "Match found")
EndIf

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe?:

$text = "Result for circuit JEPC123456" & @CRLF & "this is the result and could be antyhign@:@~@}{}=-=."
$regexp = StringRegExp($text, "(?s)Result for circuit(.*?)\.") ; match "Result for circuit
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $regexp = ' & $regexp & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
If $regexp Then
    msgbox(0,"Match", "Match found")
EndIf

Why and how do you make it look so easy >.<

Match also after crlf = (?s)

Start matching the fixed string = Result for circuit

match any character = (.*?)

until dot is found = \.
