I've been learning the power of regular expressions and have grabbed a copy of Regex Buddy. But I'm having a problem with a carriage return sequence.

My Pattern is:
$regexec_sdcli = [regex] "Storage System:\t{1,}(\S+)\r\n\tStorage System Path:\t{1,}(/vol/(\w{5}\d{3}db)/\S+\r\n)"

My Text is from a command output and part of it is:
UNC Path: \\10.0.0.11\gbldn007db\gl717db1\gbldn007sg1.lun
 Storage System: gb02ldn004
 Storage System Path: /vol/gbldn007db/gl007db1/dbldn007sg1.lun
 Type: lun

Code:
$storage = $regexec_sdcli.matches($sdcli)
write-host $storage.count

Regex Buddy and my knowledge suggest the above should result in a match but it doesn't in Powershell (running 1.0). If I remove the /r/n/t between the lines and the trailing /r/n then a match occurs.

New Pattern:
$regexec_sdcli = [regex] "Storage System:\t{1,}(\S+)\s+Storage System Path:\t{1,}(/vol/(\w{5}\d{3}db)/\S+)"

So what am I doing wrong?

With a bit of testing, I came up with :
[regex] "Storage\ System:\ (\w+)\s+\n\s+Storage\ System\ Path:\ (/vol(\w{5}\d{3}db)/.*)\n"

$sdcli = @" 
UNC Path: \\10.0.0.11\gbldn007db\gl717db1\gbldn007sg1.lun 
    Storage System: gb02ldn004 
    Storage System Path: /vol/gbldn007db/gl007db1/dbldn007sg1.lun 
    Type: lun 
"@ 
$regexec_sdcli = [regex] "Storage\ System:\ (\w+)\s+\n\s+Storage\ System\ Path:\ (/vol(\w{5}\d{3}db)/.*)\n" 
$storage = $regexec_sdcli.matches($sdcli) 
write-host $storage.count

I worked up the solution incrementally, which PowerShell is great at. I started by just matching the "Storage System" portion text like

$regexec_sdcli = [regex] "Storage\ System:"

I kept adding components and testing until I got my matching and returned the results I was looking for.
