can match across multiple lines. Or rather, I was surprised that TextMate feeds the regex engine the entire buffer instead of a line at a time. This is powerful, but it would also be nice to have a checkbox to force TextMate to feed the regex line at a time.
I'd find it pretty worthless if it didn't… ;) Generally speaking though I'm not sure what your meaning, you have to specifically match the newline character somehow, so if you don't want to match multi- line simply don't match a newline no? It uses the Oniguruma syntax so yo can also change the method the . character type matches, newlines or no newlines.
