I was interrupted before I could try that ... it doesn't, of course,
work since Linux turns CTRL-M (= return) into LF. I wondered afterwards
whether a better approach for you might be to leave PCRE configured at
its default (newline == LF) and make your application that processes
CRLF-terminated files set the appropriate PCRE option
(PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF) when calling pcre_compile(). Would that work for
you?
