Multiline flag in regex

const str = `
1. Bread
2. Apples
3. Milk
`;

const regex = /^\d\./gm;
console.log(str.match()); // [ '1.', '2.', '3.' ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

m flag enables to match at the start and end of every line.
The regex matches lines that start with number followed by comma
