Regex to capture only first line

Question

I have a weird string being returned and I need to find a regex to only return the first line, "Next Business Day" or something that I use to replace the everything after the first like that I can replace with an empty string.

I have something like this

$('#my-text').match(/(.|\n)/)

but this is capturing every line. Any advice?

This is the input string:

 Next Business Day 






                     -  $20.00 


                    Delivery next business day (except holidays). Order must be placed by 12:00 PM ET. Signature required.

Answer 1

Regex Demo

$('#my-text').text().match(/(.+)/)

1. $('#my-text') returns jQuery object, string methods like match cannot be used on object. To get innerText of the element use text() .
2. To match only first line use .+ or .* . Here . matches any character that is not newline.

Note: To get the matched result use [1] on the returned array by match.
