I have this regex for an html

var appraisalRx = /function savedAppraisalId\(\)\n\s+\{\n\s+return (\d{8})/;
let res = html.toString().match(appraisalRx);
if (res == null || res.length == 0)
          console.log("No Appraisal ID Found in HTML");

And this is the html:

 <script type="text/javascript">
        function savedAppraisalId()
        {
            return 11457602;
        }
    </script>

I test it in online regex checker and it seems to be working fine. But it isnt in here.

Please remove both `\n`s and re-try. – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 23 '20 at 10:41
That did the trick. But why was it not working with it? – Mubashir Raza Sep 23 '20 at 11:08
Your line endings are `\r\n`, CRLF, right? And you only used `\n` in the pattern. – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 23 '20 at 11:09
So I need to use all or none? – Mubashir Raza Sep 23 '20 at 11:12
When I test it in VScode it doens't work but during run time it works. Why is that? – Mubashir Raza Sep 23 '20 at 11:13
