Hi,

I am using ORO Regex API version 2.0.7 and my objective is to extract some 
tagged data from html source. For example i am interested in getting the source 
code for all the forms found in a html page. So i made my regex like this:

Regex formReg = new Regex("(?i)(<form(.|\\s)*?>(.|\\s)*?</form>)");

because following one didn't work,

Regex formReg = new Regex("(?i)(<form.*?>.*?</form>)");

because . is taken as any character but not newline.

So my first regex worked well and i was able to get complete form data starting 
from <form..... to </form>

BUT

when the form was big say like it had around 400 lines and 30K bytes then it 
failed and resulted in Stack Overflow. I am pasting below the stack overflow 
error:

Matched <form name="param" action="http://www/parametric/ProductParametric" 
method="post">
<input name="sterm" type="hidden">
</form>
matcher.getMatch().endOffset(1) 4480
Matched <form name="cross" action="http://www/crossref/search.jsp" 
method="post">
<input name="partNumber" type="hidden">
</form>
matcher.getMatch().endOffset(1) 127
java.lang.StackOverflowError

Also i am pasting my code(method) which i wrote for extraction and it can be 
simply called from main method and run,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

public static void testRegOro() {
		try {
			String html = IoUtils.readFile("file.txt");
//			String html = "all work and no play makes jack a dull 
boy"; //IoUtils.readFile("file.txt");
			Perl5Compiler compiler=new Perl5Compiler();
			Perl5Pattern pattern = (Perl5Pattern) compiler.compile
("(<form(.|\\s)*?>(.|\\s)*?</form>)",
			          Perl5Compiler.CASE_INSENSITIVE_MASK | 
Perl5Compiler.READ_ONLY_MASK);
			PatternMatcher matcher = new Perl5Matcher();
			int i=0;
			while(matcher.contains(html,pattern) && i++<3) {
		        System.out.println("Matched " + matcher.getMatch().group
(1));
		        System.out.println("matcher.getMatch().endOffset(1) " + 
matcher.getMatch().endOffset(1));
		        html = html.substring(matcher.getMatch().endOffset(1));
		        //System.out.println("html " + html);
		      }
		} catch (Throwable e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As my code shows i am reading a file.txt file i am attaching that file also in 
the bug.

I will really appreciate if you can look into this and throw some light on this 
and if it can be improved?

Thanks in Advance!
