replaceText() not working as expected for multiple lines

[Peter Haworth]

You might try (?m) to switch on multiline mode at the start of your regex.
I'm pretty sure that won't work though.  LC makes you use a repeat loop to
go through each line and issue the replaceText() against each one.

Hope that Thierry chimes in with a workaround for this - he's the LC regex
King.
