Simple javascript regex help needed
I have an regex expression:
\[quote\](.*?)\[\/quote\]
and it matches correctly between [quote]example[/quote] but it does not find a match for:
[quote]
example
[/quote]

how can I change the regex so it finds a match in the latter case too? *And keeps the format (multiple lines)
Thanks.
Add [\r\n]* to the regular expressiuon
\[quote\](.*?)\[\r\n]*[\/quote\]
The problem is that in JavaScript the .
does not match a new line (and this cannot be changed unlike in other languages where you might use the s
modifier). So the following should work:
\[quote\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/quote\]
\s
will match every whitespace character (including new lines) and \S
will match every non-whitespace character - together [\s\S]
matches every character including new lines.
