Regex Help
I need help with a regex to match any one of these cases.
I'm close my problem is the spaces in the after the line breaks. I really need to eval it as a single uuid.. I am working on a calendar migration and I'm trying to find old UUID's and replace them. I attached the entire file just incase you want to see what I am working with.

(?s)urn:uuid:.{8}-.{4}-.{4}-.{4}-.{12}ASKER
this seems to work better.
(?s):u\s*r\s*n\s*:\s*u\s*u
(?s):u\s*r\s*n\s*:\s*u\s*u
This would be a bit neater:
urn:uuid:(\S\s*){8}-(\S\s*
urn:uuid:(\S\s*){8}-(\S\s*
Can you strip out the spaces before applying the regex? That would be simpler.

I tried to find and replace spaces but it wont import in to zimbra after words and I can't seem to figure out how to add them back in.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Split the tasks into steps:
$blob=<FILE>;
$blob =~ s/\n //g;
@datasets=split("\n",$blob
... then you can tackle each dataset separately and you don't end up with a regex which is hell to maintain.
