HI all, 

I am trying to capture multiple lines between two strings in my log data. But so far have not been able to figure out a solution. 
the log data is as follows:

'calls': 'apfsae.providers.economic.china_jobs_data_provider.ChinaJobsProvider',

'db_connection': 'providers/database_connection :: qtrewd_iq',

'db_view_name': 'adweh.V_datayes_china_recruitment',

'calls': 'apfsae.providers.mappings.company_id_to_barra_mapper.BbToBarraMapper',

 

I want to capture lines starting from ChinaJobsProvider to 'calls': 
Thank you !

Do you mean something like this

| rex "(?ms)ChinaJobsProvider'(?<lines>.*)'calls"
