`"(?s).*?"` – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 23 '19 at 09:32
@WiktorStribiżew it works, what does mean (?s) ? And, why ? symbol after asterix? – Roberto Feb 23 '19 at 10:17
`(?s)` = [`Pattern.DOTALL`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#DOTALL) – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 23 '19 at 10:21
