Don't you want to be looking _for_

class xxxx {

Where you can have at least one white space between class and xxxx, and
any ammount of white space between xxxx and { (I think none is allowable
too)? Any white space includes new lines too, as the following are all
valid class declarations:

class
AClass
{

class AClass {

class
AClass {

and I think even...
class
AClass{

? :) Or do you want to get the job done, rather than getting a perfect
solution? :)

I was playing with regexp yesterday, and wanted to have a pattern match
over multiple lines, but couldn't see how that is done (A friend wanted
a simple way of stripping out c comments, and they can over multiple
lines, of course). Could someone give me a hint on that?
