How to write correctly regex pattern for less command

Question

How convert this pattern

Some_Word>[\n\t\r].*?[\n\t\r].*?[\n\t\r].*?<symbol>BK<\/symbol>

When I'm used this with the less command, then I not found nothing.

P.S. I checked here that patter with the text and it work correctly:

before bla bla<Some_Word>
ssssssssssssssssssss>
dddddddddddddddddddd>
ccccccccccccccccccccc <symbol>BK</symbol>
after bla bla>

It's unclear what you mean. What are you trying to do? Can you rephrase *"to be less recognize his?"* — ʰᵈˑ, Apr 21 '16 at 10:35
