            Bug ID: 57278
           Summary: The containsregexp selector for fileSet cannot parse
                    multiple lines of a file, even if the multiline=true
                    or singleline=true properties are used.

I briefly looked at the source, and it seems that the file is read line by line
using BufferedReader.readLine(). Then the regexp is checked against each of
these lines. Clearly, setting the regexp attributes multiline or singleline
will not allow to match against multiple lines of the file then.

In contrast, the implementation of replaceregexp works as expected. I.e. it is
able to match against multiple lines if configured appropriately.
