What Regex would capture everything from ' mark to the end of a line?

Question

I have a text file that denotes remarks with a single \'.

Some lines have two quotes but I need to get everything from the first instance of a \

In your example I'd go for the following pattern:

'([^\n]+)$

use multiline and global options to match all occurences.

To include the linefeed in the match you could use:

'[^\n]+\n

But this might miss the last line if it has no linefeed.

For a single line, if you don't need to match the linefeed I'd prefer to use:

'[^$]+$
