Hi emacs gurus,
<br><br>[I accidentally posted this first to the main emacs forum, pardon my newbness.]<br><br>I&#39;ve spent hours scouring the web trying to solve what should be a simple problem.  I appreciate any help! 
<br><br>I want to replace a three-word phrase with an acronym.  Should 
be easy, right?  But of course I want to match across lines.  From what I
 read &#39;\s-&#39; should match line feeds, but it doesn&#39;t.  The closest I&#39;ve 
gotten to matching across lines is using &#39;foo[\s-^J]+bar&#39; (using ^Q to 
insert ^J literally), but for some reason that <i>doesn&#39;t</i> match &#39;foo bar&#39; on the same line!  I&#39;m out of ideas - what&#39;s going on?<br><br>
I&#39;m using GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35).<br><br>Thanks,
<br>Steve
