A line terminator is a one- or two-character sequence that marks the end of a line of the input character sequence. The following are recognized as line terminators:
\n
'),\r\n
"),\r
'),\u0085
'),\u2028
'), or\u2029
').The regular expression .
matches any character except a line terminator
unless the DOTALL flag is specified.
By default, the regular expressions ^
and $
ignore line
terminators and only match at the beginning and the end, respectively, of the entire
input
sequence. If MULTILINE mode is activated then ^
matches at the beginning of input
and after any line terminator except at the end of input. When in MULTILINE mode $
matches just before a line terminator or the end of
the input sequence.
