Listed in the version 11.0.05.293506 Issues Fixed doc 
Problem:
In java regular expression you can enable multiple line mode from pattern string itself
If the pattern starts from (?m), then in java/coldfusion multiple line flag is enabled to search

refind uses regular expression and this flag in supported in coldfusion but it is not supported in ColdFusion

Snippet:
<cfoutput>#reFind("(?m)^two", "one#chr(10)#two#chr(10)#three/rfour")#</cfoutput>

expected output:
5
actual output:
giving error in regex

Verified this is fixed in CF11 Update 5 (build 11,0,05,293506). The example in the description also returns 5 in CF11 Update 4 (build 11,0,04,293328). FYI, there is a doc bug on the regex syntax page: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/developing-applications/the-cfml-programming-language/using-regular-expressions-in-functions/regular-expression-syntax.html 1) Scroll down to (?m) section 2) See "This example returns 4 to indicate that it matched "two" after the chr(10) linefeed." should be "This example returns 5 to indicate that it matched "two" after the chr(10) linefeed." The 4 should be a 5. Thanks!, -Aaron
