I have the following function:
if (str.match(/\d\d\d\d\d\.\d\d\d\d\d/)) {
var codigo_velho = str.match(/\d\d\d\d\d\.\d\d\d\d\d\/);
result = "1"; }
How do I change this function so that it detects line break in match ? For example, I tried with \n but it did not work:
if (str.match(/\d\d\d\d\d\.
\d\d\d\d\d/)) {
var codigo_velho = str.match(/\d\d\d\d\d\.
\d\d\d\d\d\/);
result = "1"; }
The question has already been widely answered, so I'll just make a suggestion, instead of using .match() to detect line breaks, use .test() to check whether or not the test content contains line breaks, something like this:
verificarQuebra = function()
{
var valor = $('#div1').html();
if (/[\n|\n\r]/.test(valor))
{
alert("Existem quebras de linha!");
} else
{
alert("Não existem quebras de linha!");
}
}

There is a difference between .match() and .test() ?
The function .test() Searches the a regular expression and a specified string . Returns true or false . Already .match() is used to get the results by combining a string against a regular expression. Returns an array with the results or null if there are none. If the string does not have a result, then the boolean value will be false .
Or MDN quotes the following about:
If you need to know if a string matches an expression regular, use RegExp.test (str).
Is there a significant difference in performance? According to the JsPerf , yes, the difference is approximately 30% ~ 60% depending the browser. Details removed null == false .
Do not use literal line breaks, use \n and a safeguard for \r : \r?\n . This would work with Unix-style ( \n ) and Windows-style ( \r\n ) breaks. The part of match would look like this:
str.match(/\d\d\d\d\d\.\r?\n\d\d\d\d\d/)
Or a little shortening with the Leonardo Bosquett tip :
str.match(/\d{5}\.\r?\n\d{5}/)
Line breaks can be different formats. The best way to "catch" them is to be comprehensive in regex.
Tip: string.match(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm);
The \n selector is the essentials. It's worth reading this answer about differences between \n and \r . I then used g to return all the results, not only the promising one, but also the m that means multi-lines. In the example I put below is not necessary but as I do not know exactly how it will use, I put it.
Running example: link
HTML
<div id="div1">Quebra de linha 1:
- continua aqui</div>
<div id="div2">Quebra. <br />Quebra.
Quebrão :)</div>
<div id="div3">Nenhuma quebra</div>
JavaScript
var mensagem = '';
$('div').each(function () {
var string = this.innerHTML;
var linhas = string.match(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm);
var quantidadeLinhas = linhas ? linhas.length : 0;
mensagem += 'A div ' + this.id + ' tem ' + quantidadeLinhas + ' quebras de linha\n';
});
alert(mensagem);
The alert this gives is:
Div div1 has 1 line breaks Div div2 has 6 line breaks
Div div3 has 0 line breaks
The line break test in Javascript by Regex is \ n as Wakin said, see the test on the Chrome console:
IfyouhaveproblemswithlinebreaksinversionsotherthanS.Trythis:
varnewExpression=expression.replace("\r\n", "\n");
Or simply remove them from validation if they are not needed:
var newExpression = expression.replace("\r\n", "");
Tip: expressions like \ d \ d \ d \ d can be simplified by [\d]{4}
