REGEX in Sublime How to select everything including line breaks up to an end point

I have a client and we are moving their site from Squarespace to Wordpress. The export of posts from Squarespace produces tons of unnecessary code that I am trying to remove.

If I run this Regex in an online tester like regex101 it highlights exactly what I am looking for:

/\<hr \/><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">YOU MAY ALSO LIKE:<\/h3>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>\]\]>/gms

UPDATE: here is how I use the expression in Sublime:

<hr \/><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">YOU MAY ALSO LIKE:<\/h3>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>\]\]>

However, when I try to run this in Sublime it does not work.

Does anyone have any insight into what I need to do in order to get Sublime to work properly?

Here is the content for testing purposes: (if you paste this content into regex101.com and use the regex expression above it will highlight what I am trying to remove.

According to the Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation Sublime uses the Boost library and this part at the start of the pattern \< is a Word boundary and therefore you are missing the leading < in <hr /> as there is a word boundary between < and h

Also, in pattern that you tried, the leading / and trailing /gms are perhaps copied and the / are meant as pattern delimiters and the gms meant as flags.

A format like that can for example be used with Javascript, but in Sublime it would match those character literally.

In the pattern that you finally used you don't have to escape the ] and you also don't have to escape the /

The pattern could look like:
