I am trying to match everything inside of an HTML file that is located
between a
<!--H and H-->
Right now I have
thePage.sub!(/<!--H((.*)|(\n))+H-->/, stuff)
where thePage is a string that holds the HTML page and stuff is a string
I want to sub into thePage.
This does not seem to be working.

Any suggestions?

try this

thePage.gsub!(/(<!--H)(.*?)(H-->)/, $1 + stuff + $3)

Try with:

thePage.sub!(/<!--H.*H-->/m, stuff)

The "m" enables multi-line mode. Otherwise, the \n is treated as end of line
and the substitution works on a per-line basis.

Sorry too fast.. forgot the multiline flag

thePage.gsub!(/(<!--H)(.*?)(H-->)/m, $1 + stuff + $3)
