About this regex tester
The regex tester lets you build and debug regular expressions without leaving the page. Type a pattern, flip the flags you need, and paste any test string to see every match highlighted instantly, along with a detailed list of capture groups, named groups, and character indices. Invalid patterns show a clear error instead of breaking, and quick-insert buttons drop in common patterns like email, URL, and IPv4 to get you started. Everything is evaluated locally with the browser's native regular expression engine, so your patterns and test data never leave your machine.
