@stdlib/regexp-eol

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

reEOL

Regular expression to match a newline character sequence.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/regexp-eol

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.' ]
