In Java regex, by default, the dot character does not match the newline character ( \n ). It matches a newline character only when the DOTALL flag is set. Example: import java.util.regex.*; public class Dota...

Character Matches . Any character in DOTALL mode; otherwise, any character but the line terminators. \d A digit: [0-9] \D A non-digit: [^0-9] \s A whitespace character: [ \t\n\x0B\f\r] \S A non-whitespace character: [^\s] \w A word character: [a-zA-Z_0-9] \W A non-word character: [^\w] ^ The beginning of the input, and the beginning of a line if in MULTILINE mode. $ The end of the input, and the end of a line if in MULTILINE mode. \b A word boundary \B A non-word boundary \A The beginning of the input \G The end of the previous match \Z The end of the input but for the final terminator, if any \z The end of the input \1 , \2 , etc. Back reference to the...

In MULTILINE mode, ^ matches the begging of the string as well as the beginning of a new line; $ matches the end-of-string as well as the newline character. In normal (non- MULTILINE mode), ^ only matches the begging of the string; $ only matches the end-of-string. Example: import java.util.regex.*; public class ...

To remove new line characters from a file: with tr : tr -d '\n' < the-file.txt or cat the-file.txt | tr -d '\n' with sed : sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g' the-file.txt or cat the-file.txt | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g' The sed version is a bunch of commands to manipulate the register etc. Regex replace " s/\n//g " does not work because sed regex works on a single line.
