JavaScript RegExp \s Modifier

Definition and Usage

When the \s modifier is set the regular expression finds single space characters.
A single space character can be:

• A whitespace character
• A tab character
• A carriage return character
• A new line character
• A vertical tab character
• A form feed character

Example

In the following code we will do a global search for the single space characters:

var str = "Is this all there is?"; var patt1 = /\s/g;

The white spaces in the text below will get a match:

Is this all there is?
