Replace In File - out of stack space

[sanderd]

I get this message when trying to do a replace in file...

"Out of stack space, while attempting to match a regular expression."

What does this mean?

I am trying to replace a whole section of XML. In the example below I would be trying to replace the entire XMLNode section.

<XMLNode option option 2>
<InnerNode>
<InnerNode2>
</InnerNode2>
</InnerNode>
</XMLNode>

My Regular expression is the following
<XMLNode(.|\n)*XMLNode>

The only difference between this example and what I am doing is the size of the XML section.
