regular expression to find and select all code in a css block

Question

Can someone help me with the regular expression to find and select code inside a specific css class in eclipse for eg: I have a class:

.addContentLink {
    position: relative;
    left: 470px;
}

so I want to select code inside the opening and closing braces....thanks in advance.

 (?s).*?\{(.*?)\}.*?

Please see the demo

Edited

(?s)\.addContentLink.*?\{(.*?)\}.*?

This will work for one specific class .But if there are multiple then a pattern would be needed.

thnaks for reply, but it doesnt select blocks with multiline code, and also where do i put the class name ie: ".addContentLink"?

which language are you using.You just have to pass the whole string and add multiline option. In python it would be like patter=.re.compile(r".*?\{(.*?)\}.*?",re.M) patter.match(your_string).groups()

I appreciate the accepted answer, but I am adding this which will support line breaks too.

.*?\{([\s\S]*?)\}.*?
