You need to use

$RegEx = "Add\s*:[\r\n]+.*"

See the regex demo. Here, the [\r\n]+ will match 1 or more CR or LF symbols and .* will match any 0+ chars other than a newline. Note you cannot use Singleline option you used in your code.

To match the text at the start of a line, add (?m)^:

$RegEx = "(?m)^Add\s*:[\r\n]+.*"

where (?m) is the inline version of the RegexOptions.Multiline modifier option.
