You can also search using the
PCRE subset supported by RE2
by adding pcre:yes
to your search. When you use pcre:yes
, the entire
search expression is treated as a perl-compatible regular expression.
This is particularly useful when you want to do a search across line breaks.
A search for {\s+generate_java pcre:yes
finds
mojom("mojom") {
generate_java = true
while the search {\s+generate_java
will not because {
is not on the same line as generate_java
.
