Complete recap of all the flags available in modern JavaScript (ES2024). A flag is a single character that modifies the behavior of the regex; they can be combined in any order.
| Flag | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
g | Global | Finds all matches, not just the first (required for matchAll). |
i | Ignore case | Case-insensitive (incl. Unicode characters with the u/v flag). |
m | Multiline | ^ and $ match the start/end of a line, not just the string. |
s | Dot all | The . also matches newline \n. |
u | Unicode | Correct handling of code points > 0xFFFF and enables \\p{...}. |
v | Unicode v-mode | Modern extension of u with set operations ([abc&&[def]]). |
y | Sticky | Matches only from position lastIndex, no skipping. |
d | Has indices | The result includes indices with start/end of each group. |
const re = /foo/gimu; // global + insensitive + multiline + unicode
re.flags; // "gimu" (always in canonical order: dgimsuvy)Typical combinations
g+i-- "find everything, case-insensitive". 80% of practical uses.g+m-- to match line by line in multiline text.g+s-- "the dot matches anything, including newlines". Useful to extract blocks across multiple lines.u(orv) -- always if you are dealing with real-world text in any language or emoji.
Unicode v-mode and flag evolution
The v flag (available in ES2024) replaces u and enables advanced operations on sets, such as character class intersection and subtraction (e.g. [\\p{White_Space}&&\\p{ASCII}]).
Try it
Find all occurrences of 'ciao' regardless of case. Use the correct flag.
సూచనను చూపించు
Add the i flag (case-insensitive) next to g.

Review exercise
Find a block between `<pre>` and `</pre>` even if it contains newlines. You must use the flag that makes the dot also match newlines.
సూచనను చూపించు
Add the s flag so . matches newlines too, and use lazy .+? to stop at the first </pre>.

Additional challenge
Match sequences of ASCII characters, explicitly excluding digits, using Unicode v-mode properties (flag `v`) and set subtraction syntax `[\p{ASCII}--\p{Nd}]+`.
సూచనను చూపించు
Use the v flag and write the set subtraction [\p{ASCII}--\p{Nd}]+ to exclude numbers.
