I do not understand why the regular expression string in the code
below is giving me lines of text and not paragraphs.  I am trying to
get the start and end of the whole, repeated pattern.

   The output I am getting is:

Chunk: one

What I was expecting was:

Chunk: one
two
three

    Can anyone explain this to me?     Thank you, Alan

import java.util.regex.*;

public class TextProcessor
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
 String TestString = "one \n two \n three \n\n Another Paragraph";
 System.out.println ( "Chunk: " + getChunk ( TestString, 0 ) );
 System.out.println ("\n");
}

private static final Pattern PARA_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("(^.*\\S+.*
$)+", Pattern.MULTILINE);

public static String getChunk ( String InputString, int
StartPosition )
{
 String OutputString = "";

 Matcher matcher = PARA_PATTERN.matcher ( InputString );
 try
 {
   if ( matcher.find ( StartPosition ) )
   {
     OutputString = InputString.substring(matcher.start(),
matcher.end());
   }
}
catch ( IndexOutOfBoundsException e ) { e.printStackTrace();}
catch ( IllegalStateException     e ) { e.printStackTrace();}

return OutputString;
}

}
