JavaScript \n Metacharacter | RegEx Match New Line
The JavaScript \n metacharacter is used to match new line in specified string using JavaScript regular expression. For example:
HTML with JavaScript Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="xyz"></p>
<script>
let myString = "JavaScript is Fun.\nIs not it?";
let pattern = /\n/;
document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = myString.search(pattern);
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
Since the new line character, that is \n is available at index number 18 in the specified string, therefore the output produced by above JavaScript code is 18.
Note: The search() method is used to search a substring (value) in a string using regular expression.
