Reg Exp help needed (trouble with line breaks)

Question

Hello,
I am attempting to parse a line of text with regular expressions. I am having difficulty with the line breaks.
I want to divide the following line by the first '\n' char.
For instance, I wan the output to be as follows:
found 1: one
found 2: ddd
dddHowever, I get the following with my attached code:
found 1: one
found 2: dddHowever, the second line break seems to be the end of the second group.
How do I get the any character '.' to read past any subsequent line breaks?
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Test
     String rawSequenceArg = ">one\nddd\nddd";     
       Pattern p = Pattern.compile(">([^\n]+)\n(.+)");
       Matcher m = p.matcher(rawSequenceArg);
       if(m.find())
            System.out.println("found 1: " + m.group(1));
            System.out.println("found 2: " + m.group(2));
}

In this case, the DOTALL flag is the one you need; it allows the dot (period, full stop) to match line separator characters. MULTILINE makes the '^' and '$' anchors match the beginning and end of logical lines, instead of just the beginning and end of the input.
