thanks for the help!

hmmmm, this seems to be tricky... if I use (?s) all of my text gets selected :P

Here are two examples of what I'm trying to match:

Code:

<hr>
<A name=21></a><i><b>24_</b></i><br>
<i>ΤΖ.Κ. ΡΟΟΥΛΙΝΓΚ</i><br>

Code:

<hr>
<A name=265></a><i>268 ΤΖ. Κ. ΡΟΟΥΛΙΝΓΚ</i><br>

I have tried this regex, which successfully matches the latter but not the prior case

Code:

<hr>\s+.*ΡΟΟΥΛΙΝΓΚ.*<br>
