How to select a value with any characters on multiline using regex?

Question

I'm looking to select all calc() value in a CSS file.

calc\(.*\) works to select the value when it's on one line. But I can't make it on multiline value.

h1 {
    font-size: calc( 1rem * 1.26 * 1.26 * 1.26 );
}

h1 {
    font-size: calc( 
                       1rem 
                       * 1.26 
                       * 1.26
                       * 1.26
                   );
}

Can there be nested parentheses inside `calc()`? Like `calc( 1rem * (2 - 2.5))`? — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 06 '16 at 08:35

Use [\s\S]*? to match any kind of character (including line breaks).

\bcalc\([\s\S]*?\)
