i am trying to write a regular expression to search
for the c function, the following doesnt seem to work
very well.

[a-z|_|0-9]\+(.\+[^\r\n]\+);\C

for exmaple, in the following example the above re
is selecting the whole text startnig from new_func
till end-of-file. what's wrong with re ?

code
code
new_func(int a, int b);
code
code
end-of-file
