Regex Tester

About This Tool

Regular Expressions are powerful but notorious for being difficult to write and debug. The Regex Tester provides a playground to type your pattern and test it against a sample text string. It highlights matches in real-time and shows you the 'Capture Groups', helping you understand exactly what your pattern is extracting. It supports standard JavaScript RegExp flags (global, case-insensitive, multiline). This tool is essential for modern developers who work with multiple data formats, APIs, and code structures daily. It eliminates the tedious manual work of formatting, converting, and validating code, allowing you to focus on actual development. The tool follows industry standards and best practices, ensuring your output is compatible with all major platforms and frameworks. Whether you're debugging, preparing API requests, or cleaning up data, this utility handles the heavy lifting. It's perfect for full-stack developers, DevOps engineers, data scientists, and anyone working with code and structured data regularly. Our algorithms are optimized for performance, ensuring instant results even for complex calculations. We are committed to providing free, high-quality tools to help you be more productive. Our platform is dedicated to simplifying your digital life with an extensive collection of utilities that are always available at your fingertips, completely free of charge and without any registration requirements. We believe in open access to technology for everyone.

How to Use This Tool

1

Enter Pattern

Type your validation regex (e.g., ^[a-z]+$).

2

Enter Text

Paste the test string you want to search.

3

Debug

Adjust flags and pattern until matches occur.

Key Features

  • Real-Time Highlighting: See matches as you type.
  • Group Capture: Visualizes contents of (parentheses) groups.
  • Flag Support: Toggle g, i, m flags easily.
  • Cheatsheet: Quick reference for common tokens (\d, \w, +).
  • Match Count: Shows total number of matches found.

Common Use Cases

Why This Tool Matters

A bad regex can crash a server or allow invalid data. Testing in isolation is the only way to ensure your patterns are robust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which engine does it use?

It uses your browser's native JavaScript RegExp engine.

Is data secure?

Yes, all calculations happen in your browser. We do not store any employee data.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free to use.
