.Net equalent Options in regex

12 Aug 2005

      Hi,
  I would like to know the regex options equalent to the following .Net 
Reqular Expressions Options:
  **   

*Multiline*

 ** 

 Specifies multiline mode. Changes the meaning of *^* and *$* so that they 
match at the beginning and end, respectively, of any line, not just the 
beginning and end of the whole string.

  *ExplicitCapture*

 ** 

 Specifies that the only valid captures are explicitly named or numbered 
groups of the form (?<*name*>…). This allows parentheses to act as 
noncapturing groups without the syntactic clumsiness of (?:…).

** 

     *Singleline*

 ** 

 Specifies single-line mode. Changes the meaning of the period character (.) 
so that it matches every character (instead of every character except *\n*).

  *IgnorePatternWhitespace*

** 

Specifies that unescaped white space is excluded from the pattern and 
enables comments following a number sign (#). (For a list of escaped 
white-space characters, see Character
Escapes<ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2005JUL.1033/cpgenref/html/cpconcharacterescapes.htm>.)
Note that white space is never eliminated from within a character class.
 Thanks in Advance.
 Regards
Kiran
