Reg Exp Match all 1

[MarkZK]

Hi,

Still getting to grips with regular expressions.

If the fullstop matches everything but the newline, what matches everything including newlines (if anything) or what can I do to match all characters and none characters ?

Thanks for your time.

In logic a or non-a is always true. Same here. All these pattern match all characters of any length (*).
[tt]
.pattern="[\s\S]*"
.pattern="[\w\W]*"
.pattern="[\d\D]*"
.pattern="([x]|[^x])*" 'more and more silly
.pattern="(a|[^a])*"
etc etc...
[/tt]

Perfect, I went with .pattern="[\s\S]*"

Thanks Tsuji
