multiple on special characters

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I think it’s not possible to use the special characters together with mutlitple. Is that a bug?

I expected the following to work, but it gives a TypeError: exp.find('<a').whitespace().multiple().then('>') Wrapping the whitespace in a group didn’t help either.

I tried it in other ways but then I got some interesting results: exp.find('<a').then('\s*').then('>') This actually returns: /(?:<head)(?:s\*)(?:>)/gm (notice the switched backslash) And: exp.find('<a').add('\s*').then('>') actually requires a double slash \\s* in the add method.

Can someone help me out please? What is the correct way to check for 0 or more whitespaces? Ps.: Sorry if I’m missing something obvious here.

Thanks again for your great help @shreyasminocha! 👍 I’ll check back later in the day after the PR is through and will then update back to the newest version in my project.
