When multiline mode is enabled, ripgrep will lift the restriction that a match cannot include a line terminator. For example, when multiline mode is not enabled (the default), then the regex '\\p{any}' will match any Unicode codepoint other than '\\n'. Similarly, the regex '\\n' is explicitly forbidden, and if you try to use it, ripgrep will return an error. However, when multiline mode is enabled, '\\p{any}' will match any Unicode codepoint, including '\\n', and regexes like '\\n' are permitted. An important caveat is that multiline mode does not change the match semantics of '.'. Namely, in most regex matchers, a '.' will by default match any character other than '\\n', and this is true in ripgrep as well. In order to make '.' match '\\n', you must enable the \"dot all\" flag inside the regex. For example, both '(?s).' and '(?s:.)' have the same semantics, where '.' will match any character, including '\\n'. Alternatively, the '--multiline-dotall' flag may be passed to make the \"dot all\" behavior the default. This flag only applies when multiline search is enabled. There is no limit on the number of the lines that a single match can span. **WARNING**: Because of how the underlying regex engine works, multiline searches may be slower than normal line-oriented searches, and they may also use more memory. In particular, when multiline mode is enabled, ripgrep requires that each file it searches is laid out contiguously in memory (either by reading it onto the heap or by memory-mapping it). Things that cannot be memory-mapped (such as stdin) will be consumed until EOF before searching can begin. In general, ripgrep will only do these things when necessary. Specifically, if the --multiline flag is provided but the regex does not contain patterns that would match '\\n' characters, then ripgrep will automatically avoid reading each file into memory before searching it. Nevertheless, if you only care about matches spanning at most one line, then it is always better to disable multiline mode. This flag can be disabled with --no-multiline.

By default, the multiline mode runs without this flag. This flag is generally intended to be used in an alias or your ripgrep config file if you prefer \"dot all\" semantics by default.

Caseless matching will also use Unicode simple case folding instead of ASCII-only case insensitivity. Unicode mode in PCRE2 represents a critical trade off in the user experience of ripgrep. In particular, unlike the default regex engine, PCRE2 does not support the ability to search possibly invalid UTF-8 with Unicode features enabled.

WARNING: When this flag is set, ripgrep will unconditionally spawn a process for every file that is searched. Therefore, this can incur an unnecessarily large performance penalty if you don't otherwise need the flexibility offered by this flag. A preprocessor is not run when ripgrep is searching stdin. When searching over sets of files that may require one of several decoders as preprocessors, COMMAND should be a wrapper program or script which first classifies FILE based on magic numbers/content or based on the FILE name and then dispatches to an appropriate preprocessor. Each COMMAND also has its standard input connected to FILE for convenience. For example, a shell script for COMMAND might look like: case \"$1\" in *.pdf) exec pdftotext \"$1\" - ;; *) case $(file \"$1\") in *Zstandard*) exec pzstd -cdq ;; *) exec cat ;; esac ;; esac The above script uses `pdftotext` to convert a PDF file to plain text. For all other files, the script uses the `file` utility to sniff the type of the file based on its contents.
