By using JavaScript Regular Expression m Modifier we can do a multi line search for a specified character at the beginning or ending of each line in a string.
<p>Click the below button to do multi line seacrh.</p> <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="mySearch()" /> <p id="myId"></p> <script> function mySearch() { var a = "\nTechFunda is sister a\nsister concern of DotNetFunda"; var b = /^si/m; var r = a.match(b); document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r; } </script>
In the above code snippet we have given Id
as "myId
"to the second <p>
element in the HTML code. There is a function mySearch() in the<script>
block which is connected to the Onclick of the HTML button and there is a string with value "\nTechFunda is sister a \nsister concern of DotNetFunda" to the variable a
, from the string we need to do a multi line search for a new line begining character 'si' in a string, for that we are using m
modifier in the variable b
, variable R returns the multi line search result. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML page fires the function mySearch() in the<script>
block, at the same time m
modifier do the multi line search for a character 'si' at the begining of a new line in a string and returns the output.
