    <p>Okay, I'm playing with some JavaScript regular expressions as a bit of practice and I've set myself the task of turning this text file into a json object:</p> <p><strong>Text file</strong>:</p> <pre><code>title: #HEY image: http://localhost:4089/assets/images/backgrounds/bg.jpg date: 2013-03-19 13:48:30 excerpt: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. body: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother\'s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee. Normally, both your ***** would be dead as ****** fried chicken, but you happen to pull this **** while I'm in a transitional period so I don\'t wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can\'t give you this case, it don\'t belong to me. Besides, I\'ve already been through too much **** this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ***. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother\'s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee. </code></pre> <p><strong>into</strong> this:</p> <pre><code>{ title: '#HEY', image: 'http://localhost:4089/assets/images/backgrounds/bg.jpg', date: '2013-03-19 13:48:30', excerpt: 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

' } </code></pre> <p>I figured regular expressions would be best for this (since it's a Node experiment) and currently I have this expression (which I'm sure can be greatly improved) but it has an issue with the body containing line breaks between paragraphs.</p> <pre><code>/^(.*)\: ?\n?(.*)/gim </code></pre> <p>How can I get it to select the whole body text instead of skipping the middle paragraph?</p> <p>[edit]</p> <p>To clarify, I'm not interested in the making json part, this isn't my question and not a problem, it's the regular expression that is the question.</p>

    1. COThe problem is that you can't really distinguish between the new "object" property and a string in text body that have a `:` in it. So you probably want to add some wrapping to the long text strings (like `<<<` in PHP or `"""` in Python). Another approach is to read file line by line and if the new line matches some regex like that you have - it's new "object" property, otherwise attach it's value to previous property.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
