EOL
Regular expression to match a newline character sequence.
Usage
var reEOL = require( '@stdlib/regexp/eol' );
reEOL( [options] )
Returns a Regular expression to match a newline character sequence.
var RE_EOL = reEOL();
var bool = RE_EOL.test( '\n' );
// returns true
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\r\n' );
// returns true
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\\r\\n' );
// returns false
The function accepts an options
object with optional properties:
- flags:
string
specifying regular expression flags. Default:''
. - capture:
boolean
indicating whether to create a capture group for the match. Default:false
.
By default, the function returns a regular expression which does not have any flags specified. To specify flags, set the flags
option with a list of flags (which may be in any order).
var replace = require( '@stdlib/string/replace' );
var RE_EOL = reEOL({
'flags': 'g'
});
var str = '1\n2\n3';
var out = replace( str, RE_EOL, '' );
// returns '123'
By default, the function returns a regular expression which does not capture the part of a string matching the regular expression. To capture matches, set the capture
option.
var RE_EOL = reEOL({
'capture': true
});
var str = 'beep\nboop';
var arr = str.split( RE_EOL );
// returns [ 'beep', '\n', 'boop' ]
reEOL.REGEXP
Regular expression to match a newline character sequence.
var bool = reEOL.REGEXP.test( 'abc' );
// returns false
reEOL.REGEXP_CAPTURE
Regular expression to capture a newline character sequence.
var parts = reEOL.REGEXP_CAPTURE.exec( '\n' );
// returns [ '\n', '\n' ]
Examples
var reEOL = require( '@stdlib/regexp/eol' );
var RE_EOL = reEOL();
var bool;
var str;
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\r\n' );
// returns true
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\n' );
// returns true
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\r' );
// returns false
bool = RE_EOL.test( '\\r\\n' );
// returns false
bool = RE_EOL.test( 'beep' );
// returns false
str = 'This is\na newline\r\ndelimited string.';
var arr = str.split( RE_EOL );
// returns [ 'This is', 'a newline', 'delimited string.' ]
