regex to match everything

I'm using the following regular expression to match everything:

/^(?=.{10,8000}$).*$/

But now I just realize that .* doesn't match the newline character. How can I make this regular expression match newlines?

I think that is pretty much simpler, just use /.*/ . stands for any character and * allows any repetition of that character.

var filter =  /.*/gim;

That will match everything across multiple lines.

Why do you use a regex?

var txt = "Hello World!";
if(length(txt) >= 10 && length(txt) <= 8000) {//match}

All whitespace + non-whitespace = all characters: [\S\s]

/^(?=[\S\s]{10,8000})[\S\s]*$/
