### g modifier

• non-case sensitive matching. Upper and lower cases don’t matter.
• global match. We attempt to find all matches instead of just returning the first match.
• The internal state of the regular expression stores where is located the last match, and matching is resumed where it was left in the previous match.

### m modifier

• multiline match. It treats the ^ and \$ characters to match the beginning and the end of each line of the tested string.
• A newline character is determined by n or r.

### u modifier

• Unicode search. The regex pattern is treated as a Unicode sequence

### y modifier
