Hi!
good prog but i've found a problem:
searching for the expression "^.*something" it substitutes only "something" and not everything starting from the beginning of the file. it'll be great if you'll fix it.
tnx

Hi
In TextCrawler's reg ex implementation the dot '.' doesn't match across new lines.

Try:
[\s\S]*something

This should match everything up to the end of 'something'.
