Hello,
I did a board search and found some old topics relating to Regular Expressions. I am right now evaluating 4.5.0 and I was wondering why a regex like this one wouldn't work

Code:
(^\d{4})(.*)\n

\n won't work, use $ as a line end instead, and IMHO ^ should be out of the brackets:

^(\d{4})(.*)$

I am not using \n to identify the line end - I am using it to identify a new line. The difference is significant when trying to find and replace multiple lines at a time. Will this feature be available sometime soon?

no. Regexp for find/replace works in single-line mode only.
Can't say if multiline will be ever implemented.
