I wrote a regex to fetch string from HTML, but it seems the multiline flag doesn\'t work.

This is my pattern and I want to get the text in h1 tag.

    You want the s (dotall) modifier, which apparently doesn't exist in Javascript - you can replace . with [\s\S] as suggested by @molf. The m (multiline) modifier makes ^ and $ match lines rather than the whole string.

    [\s\S] did not work for me in nodejs 6.11.3. Based on the RegExp documentation, it says to use [^] which does work for me.

    (The dot, the decimal point) matches any single character except line terminators: \n, \r, \u2028 or \u2029.

    Inside a character set, the dot loses its special meaning and matches a literal dot.

    Note that the m multiline flag doesn't change the dot behavior. So to match a pattern across multiple lines, the character set [^] can be used (if you don't mean an old version of IE, of course), it will match any character including newlines.

    For example:

    /This is on line 1[^]*?This is on line 3/m

    where the *? is the non-greedy grab of 0 or more occurrences of [^].

    My suggestion is that it's better to split the multiple-line string with "\n" and concatenate the splits of the original string and becomes a single line and easy to manipulate.

    <textarea class="form-control" name="Body" rows="12" data-rule="required" 
                      title='@("Your feedback ".Label())'
                      placeholder='@("Your Feedback here!".Label())' data-val-required='@("Feedback is required".Label())'
                      pattern="^[0-9a-zA-Z ,;/?.\s_-]{3,600}$" data-val="true" required></textarea>
    
    
    $( document ).ready( function() {
      var errorMessage = "Please match the requested format.";
      var firstVisit = false;
    
      $( this ).find( "textarea" ).on( "input change propertychange", function() {
    
        var pattern = $(this).attr( "pattern" );
        var element = $( this );
    
        if(typeof pattern !== typeof undefined && pattern !== false)
        {
          var ptr = pattern.replace(/^\^|\$$/g, '');
          var patternRegex = new RegExp('^' + pattern.replace(/^\^|\$$/g, '') + '$', 'gm');     
    
          var ks = "";
          $.each($( this ).val().split("\n"), function( index, value ){
            console.log(index + "-" + value);
            ks += " " + value;
          });      
          //console.log(ks);
    
          hasError = !ks.match( patternRegex );
          //debugger;
    
          if ( typeof this.setCustomValidity === "function") 
          {
            this.setCustomValidity( hasError ? errorMessage : "" );
          } 
          else 
          {
            $( this ).toggleClass( "invalid", !!hasError );
            $( this ).toggleClass( "valid", !hasError );
    
            if ( hasError ) 
            {
              $( this ).attr( "title", errorMessage );
            } 
            else
            {
              $( this ).removeAttr( "title" );
            }
          }
        }
    
      });
    });

    The dotall modifier has actually made it into JavaScript in June 2018, that is ECMAScript 2018.
    https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-dotall-flag

    const re = /foo.bar/s; // Or, `const re = new RegExp('foo.bar', 's');`.
    re.test('foo\nbar');
    // → true
    re.dotAll
    // → true
    re.flags
    // → 's'

    You are looking for the /.../s modifier, also known as the dotall modifier. It forces the dot . to also match newlines, which it does not do by default.

    The bad news is that it does not exist in JavaScript (it does as of ES2018, see below). The good news is that you can work around it by using a character class (e.g. \s) and its negation (\S) together, like this:

    [\s\S]
    

    So in your case the regex would become:

    /<div class="box-content-5">[\s\S]*<h1>([^<]+?)<\/h1>/i
    

    As of ES2018, JavaScript supports the s (dotAll) flag, so in a modern environment your regular expression could be as you wrote it, but with an s flag at the end (rather than m; m changes how ^ and $ work, not .):

    /<div class="box-content-5">.*<h1>([^<]+?)<\/h1>/is
