regex - Regular Expressions- Match Anything -
how create look match absolutely (including whitespaces)? example:
regex: bought _ sheep.
matches: bought sheep. bought sheep. bought 5 sheep.
i tried using (.*) doesn't seem working.
update: got work, apparently problem wasn't regular expressions, it's (.) characters beingness escaped. anyways people.
normally dot matches character except newlines.
so if .* isn't working, set "dot matches newlines, too" alternative (or utilize (?s).*).
if you're using javascript, doesn't have "dotall" option, seek [\s\s]*. means "match number of characters either whitespace or non-whitespace" - "match string".
another alternative works javascript (and not recognized other regex flavor) [^]* matches string. [\s\s]* seems more used, perhaps because it's more portable.
