I want to match all \n
or \r
except the ones when the line starts with a @
I have this regular expression :
(?!^@.*\r*\n*)(\r*\n*)
For example:
@text text text
@text text text
The line break after this text should be matched
The line break after this text also should be selected
@this line break should not be selected
So the only line breaks that should be selected are the ones in the 2nd, 4th, 5th,and 6th and 7th. Any ideas?
Like this?

Note I do not SELECT the text, I REPLACE the \n\r or\n or \r
const text = document.getElementById("x").innerText;
document.getElementById("x").innerText=text.replace(/(^[^@].*)(\r\n|\r|\n)/gm,"$1<BR/>")
#x { font-family: "Courier New", monospace;
white-space: pre; }
<div id="x">@line 1: text text text
line 2:
@line3: text text text
line 4: The line break after this text should be matched
line 5: The line break after this text also should be selected
line 6:
@line 7: this line break should not be selected
</div>
