RegEx Help--Across Lines

I am using Rev to repurpose old html to new CSS compliant mark up. The 
old pages are incredibly inconsistent.  Fortunately grep is our  
friend.. I need a grep expression that will pass out the content from

both #1:

<title> some title </title>

and #2

<title> some title
</title>

where the first instance has no line break but the second one does

if matchtext (x,("title>(.*?)</title"), tTitle then
      put tTitle
end if

  picks up #1  but not # two

I read through BBEdits grep reference but don't find any reference on 
how to ignore the line break.

Thanks
