I need to set the multiline flag on this, but don't know how to. Can anyone help?

regexp: '^(?:passwd):\s+(?:(?!sss).)+$'

Just a thought.... I am using this with the replace module.... does it already assume multiline (as lineinfile does not)?

Have you read the docs under regexp?

I had seen the doc before, but I didn't notice the definition under the regexp before. Thank you.
