Regex to match full lines of text excluding crlf

Question

How would a regex pattern to match each line of a given text be?

I'm trying ^(.+)$ but it includes crlf...

Answer 1

Just use RegexOptions.Multiline.

Multiline mode. Changes the meaning of ^ and $ so they match at the beginning and end, respectively, of any line, and not just the beginning and end of the entire string.

Example:

var lineMatches = Regex.Matches("Multi\r\nlines", "^(.+)$", RegexOptions.Multiline);

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you mean by "match each line of a given text" means, but you can use a character class to exclude the CR and LF characters:

[^\r\n]+

Answer 3

The wording of your question seems a little unclear, but it sounds like you want RegexOptions.Multiline (in the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace). It's an option you have to set on your RegEx object. That should make ^ and $ match the beginning and end of a line rather than the entire string.

For example:

Regex re = new Regex("^(.+)$", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);
