title: JavaScript RegExp /s flag
---

# Introduction

The dot (.) in regular expressions doesn't match line terminator
characters:

``` javascript
console.log(/%.$/.test('\n')) // false
```

The `/s` expression (dotAll) flag fixes this.

# Syntax

``` javascript
console.log(/^.$/s.test("\n")); // true
```
