JavaScript regex multiline flag doesn't work

Question

I wrote a regex to fetch string from HTML, but it seems the multiline flag doesn\'t work.

This is my pattern and I want to get the text in h1 tag.

You want the s (dotall) modifier, which apparently doesn't exist in Javascript - you can replace . with [\s\S] as suggested by @molf. The m (multiline) modifier makes ^ and $ match lines rather than the whole string.
