regex breaks on \n

Question

hi

segmentText = <input from textarea>;


testRgx = [/( \d+\.| [^\W\d_]\.|.)+?([!?.。](?= |$)|$)/g];


arrSegments = segmentText.match(testRgx);

This expression fails if segmentText has \n or other white spaces in it.I want to add \n in to the list of chars that the above pattern use [!?.。] => [!?.。\n] so that the segment is separated based on the \n character

Answer 1

If you add the 'm' modifier the . will match newlines

/foo/gm
