multiline regular expression help in eclipse?

Question

I need a regular expression for eclipse that finds the string XYZ if it's somewhere in the <formula> tags. it is certainly across multiple lines too.

If easier, i can do this in notepad++

<formula>
    potential stuff. could be in tags
    XYZ 
    potential stuff. could be in tags
</formula>

what you want to do with `XYZ`? Do you want to replace it with someone else. — Braj, Jul 21 '14 at 19:50
`[^<]*XYZ[^<]*` will highlight any formula block which includes XYZ. Did you want that or just `XYZ` highlighted? NOTE: Could only test in MyEclipse for Spring, not Eclipse (don't know which version of Eclipse you're using anyway). — adamdc78, Jul 21 '14 at 22:44

Use : (?m)(?s)<formula>.*(XYZ).*</formula>

Refer Eclipse File Search Dialog - Regular Expression for Group Unions and Negation and Eclipse file search pattern for exactly two occurences
