Regex: Any character in character class

Show all headers | View raw

I want to match any sequence of characters, including line breaks, in a 
suffix of a multi-line string.

I do not want to use Pattern.DOTALL, because line breaks are not 
permissible everywhere. I cannot write [.]* because dot loses its 
special meaning inside a character class.

I have come up with [\S\s]*
as meaning any sequence of non-whitespace or whitespace (incl. 
line-breaks). Is there a better way?
