regex new line match inside an angle brackets

Question

I want to find all the files which uses <Button> component with className props in Visual studio editor.

Tried this regex <Button.*className.*> . It works partially. It didn't match the new line case. Kindly, check attached screenshot.

Last line button component didn't match. Because, props entered in a new line. I tried \n. It didn't work..

Change .* to [^>]*. By default . matches everything except newline, so .* won't match across multiple lines.

<Button[^>]*className[^>]*>
