Using regular expressions

Hello:
My issue is this.
I have a big site (more than 1,500 pages) using this format for the li tag:

<li class="normal">You must wash the part every single day.</li>
<li class="normal">Also you must try to....</li>

The thing is to translate to this:

<li class="cielotitulo"><span class="normal">You must wash the part every
single day.</span></li>
<li class="cielotitulo"><span class="normal">Also you must try
to...</span></li>

is easy using this regular expretions query
(<li class=")(normal)(">)(.+)(</li>)

but if you have the li with a line feed ON THE SOURCE CODE
<li class="normal">You must wash the
part every single day.</li>
it can´t read it.

I tried to use the several params to linefeed \s, \b, \w but i can´t get the
code.

Any help please?

li class="normal">You must wash the part every single day.</li
li class="normal">Also you must try to....</li

First of all, why bother with a 'normal' class name? If it's the normal
style, just make that the default style for LI

li class="cielotitulo"><span class="normal">You must wash the part every
single day.</span></li

Also, you might be able to get away with:

<li class="cielotitulo normal">

Which would obviously be easier to search and replace against.

is easy using this regular expretions query
(<li class=")(normal)(">)(.+)(</li>)

but if you have the li with a line feed ON THE SOURCE CODE
li class="normal">You must wash the
part every single day.</li
it can´t read it.

Try this:
(<li class=")(normal)(">)((.|\n)+)(</li>)

((.|\n)+) = one or more of any character or line break

That's a good answer, Darrel. It's a shame DW doesn't make the multiple
and single line switches available. I've needed them more than once! DW
seems to use these switches internally, given how well the Text (Advanced)
option works (I'm assuming these are essentially regex templates). Ah,
well.
