正则表达式JS：两个字符串之间的匹配字符串，包括换行符

Question

I want to match string between two string with Regex including newlines.

For example, I have the next string:

{count, plural,
  one {apple}
  other {apples}
} 

I need to get string between plural, and one . It will be \\n*space**space* . I tried this Regex:

/(?:plural,)(.*?)(?:one)/gs

It works, but not in JS. How to do that with JavaScript?

Answer 1

To match the everything including newline character, you can use [\\s\\S] or [^]

 var str = `{count, plural, one {apple} other {apples} } `; console.log(str.match(/(?:plural,)([\\s\\S]*?)(?:one)/g)); console.log(str.match(/(?:plural,)([^]*?)(?:one)/g)); 

Answer 2

It doesn´t work because your testing with the wrong regex engine.

 `/s` does not exist in the JS regex engine, only in pcre

It must be something like:

/(?:plural,)((.|\n)*?)(?:one)/g

Hope it helps.
