Tag set inside another tag set.

This is a Dreamweaver find & replace regex question.

I am using the following code to find all the
<cfquery.../cfquery> 
blocks to analyze a legacy application.  It is working well
to find all 
the query blocks in the application..
<cfquery(.|[rn])*?/cfquery>

However, I have noticed that some of the <cfquery>
blocks are not active 
since they have been commented out.  Is it straight forward
to 
optionally find these queries that are inside a comment set
"<!--- ... 
--->" and include the entire comment block with the
query block as well 
as all other query blocks?

Another wrinkle.  There can be one or more query blocks
inside the 
comment block.

Not tested, but try this (or a variation):

(<!---.*?(?!--->))?<cfquery(.|[rn])*?/cfquery>
((?<!<!--).*?--->)?

I don't use DW, so I don't know if this supports negative 
lookahead/lookbehind, and this is sort of off the top of my
very tired head.

HTH.
