I wanted to match the line that contains:

 lonfksa.newsvine.com

and I tried the following regex but it doesn't work:

(?s)lonfksa.newsvine.com(?s)

what regex should I use to match the whole line that has this string?

Answer 1

You can make use of the multiline flag, and ^ and $ anchors that will match at the string start and string end repsectively:

(?m)^.*lonfksa\.newsvine\.com.*$

Mind that you need to escape a dot in regex to make it match a literal dot. Your regex (?s)lonfksa.newsvine.com(?s) contains unescaped dots that match any character (even a newline since you are using a singleline inline option (?s)). The final inline option (?s) is not necessary, it does not do anything.

Answer 2

Try this regex :

^.*lonfksa\.newsvine\.com.*\b
