pcregrep question

[bruce]

Hi.

I'm embarrassed to say I can't resolve this. So, my mind has gone blank!

I've got a test file, with the following lines. Basically, I want a
grep/regex to traverse the multiple lines to return the lines.

ll_=urllib.quote_plus(simplejson.dumps(b2))+"\n"
pathchildcount_filep.write(ll_)

I've tried a number of attempts.. I thought something similar to the
following should work. (but no luck)

pcregrep  -Mi ".+urllib.quote_plus(simplejson.dumps(b2))(.+\n).+path" foo.py

The test file actually has the "\n" chars as text but the regex/grep can
ignore it, to focus on getting the two lines..

In the case of the example, both lines start at the beginning of the line.

Thanks

(no laffing!!)
