problems with double newlines

[holden]

I'm trying to get this:

sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,OTHERTEXT
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

but getting only this:

sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,OTHERTEXT
sometext,sometext,sometext

sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext
sometext,sometext,sometext

/(\r\r)[^\1]*othertext/gis

please help

It may be easier to split the text on \r\r first and then run a regex on each chunk.

This works in RegexBuddy, PCRE flavor:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

(?s)\r\n\r\n[^\r]+\r\n[^\r]+OTHERTEXT

I used \r\n because I'm on Windows, if you're on unix you can remove the three instances of \n.

The (?s) means "dot matches new line", works in PCRE, if you are using a different flavor, use the appropriate flag.
