Javascript regex throwing syntax error in edge

Question

I have a simple regex I'm using and that works perfectly in chrome but edge throws a syntax error, ths is the line :

var html=text.match(/^<div.+\/div>$/ims);

I don't see the problem.

`s flag` is not supported in `IE`, [`DotAll`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/dotAll) — Code Maniac, Oct 19 '19 at 11:02

Because /s flag is not supported, use:

var html=text.match(/^<div[\s\S]+\/div>$/im);

Basically you want to match all characters with a new line character You can this regex please:-

text.match(/^<div>.+\n*.*<\/div>/)

This will match only one linefeed and will not match div with attributes. – Toto Oct 19 '19 at 14:11
