[Ruby] regex question

[shaners becker]

closer.

that found a result. but only one result. it found from the first  
<recommendation> all the way through the last </recommendation>  
ignoring all the rest along the way

the document is structured like so:

book --1
	recommendation  --1
		book  --1a
		book  --1b
		book  --1c
	/recommendation  --1
/book --1
book --2
	recommendation  --2
		book  --2a
		book  --2b
		book  --2c
	/recommendation  --2
/book --2

and so on.

> <recommendations>(?m).*</recommendations>

finds from recommendation  --1 all the way to /recommendation --2  
leaving only one book with no recommendations. instead of two books  
with no recommendations.
