How do i match multiple characters (including new line characters) in the "after match" portion of a "match regular expression" function?

Hello once again Labview community!

I know its been a while since you all have replied to my question, which I am very thankful to you all for doing so.  I did find a wonderful solution to my problem with your guidance however.

In order to exclude the giberish that came before the word "calibration" i sent it through a string match function, except this time i searched for the word "calibration."  Using this function I was able to output this word along with everything that came after it, which i appended to eachother.

*Note - If i were to search for the characters "0;0m" and output everything after it, the VI would not have ouput the name of the first file named "calibration.cvs" since it is not preceded by "0;0m."

By this method, I was able to get my array (that looked something like this):

calibration.cvs

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        70096 Jun 30  2009 calibration.xml

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        70099 Jun 30  2009 calibration.xml.bak

to turn into this:

calibration.cvs

calibration.xml

calibration.xml.bak

Also, in my VI, there was more gibberish that followed the end of my calibration file names that looked something like this "0;0m".  In order to exclude these last few characters, I sent my parsed text once again through a string match function, and I replaced them with an empty string constant and that is how I cleaned up my text.

I hope the labview community finds this information useful. Thanks once again Bill, John, and Jack!
