body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.result {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 500;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>dotAll flag for regular expressions</h1>
<div style="color: green;" class="result"></div>
<button class="btn">CLICK HERE</button>

const regex = new RegExp("Hello", "s");
btnEle.addEventListener("click", () => {
resEle.innerHTML = "The s flag has been set : " + regex.dotAll;
});
</script>
</body>
