How to ignore newline in regexp?
By reading this one: How to use JavaScript regex over multiple lines?
I came with that, which works:
var data = "<test>11\n1</test>\n#EXTM3U\n";
reg = /<test>([\s\S]*?)<\/test>/;
var match = data.match(reg);
console.log(match[1]);
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Rpkj2/
In JavaScript, there is no flag to tell to RegExp()
that .
should match newlines. So, you need to use a workaround e.g. [\s\S]
.
Your RegExp would then look like this:
var reg = new RegExp( "\<" + "test" + "\>([\s\S]*?)\<\/" + "test" + "\>" );
You are missing a JS newline character \
at the end of line 2.
Also, change regexp to:
var data = "\
<test>11\n\
1</test>\n\
#EXTM3U\n\
";
var reg = new RegExp(/<test>(.|\s)*<\/test>/);
var match = data.match(reg);
console.log(match[0]);
