About This Tool

Write a regular expression pattern and test it against sample text in real time. Matches are highlighted inline with group capture details. Supports all JavaScript regex flags (g, i, m, s, u, d).

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool uses JavaScript's built-in RegExp engine. It supports all standard regex syntax including lookaheads, lookbehinds, named groups, and Unicode properties.

Flags modify how the pattern matches. Common flags: g (global - find all matches), i (case-insensitive), m (multiline - ^ and $ match line boundaries), s (dotAll - . matches newlines).

Check that you have the correct flags enabled (especially g for multiple matches and i for case-insensitive). Also verify that special characters like . * + are escaped with \ if you want to match them literally.
