Matching Line Boundaries in a Regular Expression
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
CharSequence inputStr = "abc\ndef";
String patternStr = "abc$";
// Compile with multiline enabled
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr, Pattern.MULTILINE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
boolean matchFound = matcher.find(); // true
// Use an inline modifier to enable multiline mode
matchFound = pattern.matches(".*abc$.*", "abc\r\ndef"); // false
matchFound = pattern.matches("(?m).*abc$.*", "abc\r\ndef"); // true
}
