What exactly to you want to match?
Your question is like: "can you please highlight my favorite words in this sentence". ;-)

You're right my mistake. I want to match that whole string with new lines, spaces.
Same as it in qoutes.
"/AC011/20_ABC/AEEE/ACD_AEEE_Opw21_1
123

1.1.1.11.0-11"

Thanks in advance :)

1) What language? C#?
2) What RegEx dialect? .NET?
3) Why RegEx when you want the full string to "match"? Why not use s1.Equals(s2) or s1 == s2?

Regex is probably the wrong tool, unless you are trying to match that string as a pattern:
"A slash, followed by two uppercase Alpha, and three digits, then a other slash, followed by ..."
If you want to find an exact string, then use string comparison instead - it's a lot easier and a lot simpler to read!
If you want to match a pattern, then you need to give us a bit more info on what is and isn't allowed where - and what you need to break it into as far as match groups are concerned. Get a copy of Expresso [^] - it's free, and it examines and generates Regular expressions.

And try starting with:

/(?<id>[A-Z]{2}\d{3})/(?<productcode>\d{2}_[A-Z]{3})</productcode></id>

Which may cover the first two fields.
