In Java I use this regular expression \b\w+\b as a pattern in order to find words but the boundary does not react to newlines. For example, in the following text:
Code:
hello and bye
and
blah
it finds the words below:
hello
byeandblah
and
Could someone tell how to fix that?
p.s. Just in case it's a clue, the example text does not have empty lines when I view it in gedit, they only appear over here, after I paste the text and submit the post.

I can't seem to get this right. I've tried it every way imaginable using every trick I see on stackexchange and such. No luck. So nothing major here, something like:

I am having trouble parsing rpm filenames in a shell script.. I found a snippet of perl code that will perform the task but I really don't have time to rewrite the entire script in perl. I cannot for the life of me convert this code into something sed-friendly:
