regex - Parsing BBCode in Javascript -

i using (http://coursesweb.net/javascript/convert-bbcode-html-javascript_cs) script parsing bbcode. have extended bbcodes can process, encountering problem when newline follows opening tag, e.g.

  [code]      code....   [/code] 

the problem not occur if code 'inline' [code]code....[/code]`

the regex being used match what's inside these tags (.*?) know not match newlines. have tried ([^\r\n]) match newlines hasn't worked either.

i imagine it's simple issue have little experience regex appreciated

edit: full list of regex's using

  var tokens = { 'url' : '((?:(?:[a-z][a-z\\d+\\-.]*:\\/{2}(?:(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})+|[0-9.]+|\\[[a-z0-9.]+:[a-z0-9.]+:[a-z0-9.:]+\\])(?::\\d*)?(?:\\/(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)*(?:\\?(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@\\/?|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)?(?:#(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@\\/?|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)?)|(?:www\\.(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})+(?::\\d*)?(?:\\/(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)*(?:\\?(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@\\/?|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)?(?:#(?:[a-z0-9\\-._~\\!$&\'*+,;=:@\\/?|]+|%[\\da-f]{2})*)?)))', 'link' : '([a-z0-9\-\./]+[^"\' ]*)', 'email' : '((?:[\\w\!\#$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`{\|\}\~]+\.)*(?:[\\w\!\#$\%\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`{\|\}\~]|&)+@(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[a-z0-9]{1}[a-z0-9\-]{0,62}[a-z0-9]{1})|[a-z])\.)+[a-z]{2,6})|(?:\\d{1,3}\.){3}\\d{1,3}(?:\:\\d{1,5})?))', 'text' : '(.*?)', 'simpletext' : '([a-za-z0-9-+.,_ ]+)', 'inttext' : '([a-za-z0-9-+,_. ]+)', 'identifier' : '([a-za-z0-9-_]+)', 'color' : '([a-z]+|#[0-9abcdef]+)', 'number'  : '([0-9]+)', 'all'  : '([^\r\n])',  }; 

edit 2: full js matching

var token_match = /{[a-z_]+[0-9]*}/ig;   var _getregex = function(str) { var matches = str.match(token_match); var nrmatches = matches.length; var = 0; var replacement = '';  if (nrmatches <= 0) {   return new regexp(preg_quote(str), 'g');        // no tokens return escaped string }  for(; < nrmatches; += 1) {   // remove {, } , numbers token can match   // keys in tokens   var token = matches[i].replace(/[{}0-9]/g, '');    if (tokens[token]) {     // escape before token     replacement += preg_quote(str.substr(0, str.indexof(matches[i]))) + tokens[token];      // remove before end of token can used     // next token. doing parts can escaped     str = str.substr(str.indexof(matches[i]) + matches[i].length);   } }  replacement += preg_quote(str);         return new regexp(replacement, 'gi'); };   var _gettpls = function(str) { var matches = str.match(token_match); var nrmatches = matches.length; var = 0; var replacement = ''; var positions = {}; var next_position = 0;  if (nrmatches <= 0) {   return str;       // no tokens return string }  for(; < nrmatches; += 1) {   // remove {, } , numbers token can match   // keys in tokens   var token = matches[i].replace(/[{}0-9]/g, '');   var position;    // figure out $# use ($1, $2)   if (positions[matches[i]]) {     position = positions[matches[i]];          } else {     // token doesn't have position increment next position     // , record token's position     next_position += 1;     position = next_position;     positions[matches[i]] = position;   }    if (tokens[token]) {     replacement += str.substr(0, str.indexof(matches[i])) + '$' + position;     str = str.substr(str.indexof(matches[i]) + matches[i].length);   } }  replacement += str;  return replacement; }; 

this trick me: (updated 1 avoid confusion)

\[code\]((?:.|\t|\n|\r)*?)\[\/code\] 

see regexpal , enter following:

[code]     code.... [/code]  [code]code.... [/code] 

update: fixed regex following , works in chrome console me:

/\[code\]((?:.|\t|\n|\r)*?)\[\/code\]/g.exec("[code]hello world \n[/code]")
