title: Flex regex multy line comment
body: <p>Can someone explain to me the difference,i've been testing for over 2 hours now...</p>
  
  <pre><code> This regex \"(.|\n)*\" gets everything inside " " (along with the " ").
  
   This regex "//".*$ gets a single line comment(c).
  
  `But the regex \/\*(.|\n)*\*\/ doesn't get a multy line comment
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>instead it gets too many, i don't even understand. Can someone explain to me the difference?Also [^"] means everything except " is it possible to write [^*/] or it takes * and / as not connected characters?By the way i run all these on VS2008(using flex and bison). I found examples that doesn't work on VS2008, so if someone knows a really good site that explains regex share it with me cause i feel like i'm lost in a labyrinth.  Thank you for your time!</p>
