How to select multiple lines

Hi,

The following regexp from Philippe Poilbarbe works fine :
"module\s+(?n.*?)endmodule"

I am not sure to understand the reason why it works. Should it be read as :
I search for "module" followed by at least one space or tab followed by
0 or more of any character including newline preceding "endmodule".  The
number of character including newline preceding "endmodule" should be as
small as possible (? keyword).

Thank you.

Eric.
