Regex: disable singleline option

How do I have to adjust a Regex search such that it just finds "bc" in the first line?

 

According to Regex web test pages( https://regex101.com/ , https://regexr.com/)

the regex expression "\A.*bc" should find "bc" in the first line - and ignore bc in the second line:

In Jmp with

Regex(
"abcdef
nghibcjk", "\A.*bc" );

I get the result

hogi_2-1697456878288.png

... which corresponds to Regex with additional option /s (singleline):

hogi_3-1697457005608.png

 

How can I disable the singleline option?

I just found options for 

hogi_4-1697457079992.png

.. .and for the greedy option  which can be disabled by using .*? instead of .*.

I hoped the answer would be different. Interesting ...

Hm, here is the wish to fix it:

Re: Regex: disable singleline option

I don't think JMP's Regex() function supports any (general) regex flags outside of IGNORECAS (I think g, i, m and s are the most useful flags (Advanced searching with flags (mozilla.org)). I have made wish list item regarding global search, though it was hastily done and was just for Regex Match Add flag to Regex Match() to find all non-overlapping occurances of pattern . Luckily these are fairly easy to workaround most of the time.
