About this tool
Regular expressions (regex) are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. Our Regex Tester lets you write patterns and test them against sample text in real-time, showing all matches with their positions, capture groups, and named groups. The tool includes a built-in cheatsheet with clickable patterns, 6 preset patterns for common use cases (email, URL, IP address, phone number, hex color, date), flag toggles for global, multiline, case-insensitive, and dotall modes, and a replace mode that supports group references ($1, $2). Whether you are validating form inputs, extracting data from text, or building search-and-replace operations, this regex tester gives you instant feedback as you type. All processing uses your browser native RegExp engine — no server calls, no data collection.
