Test regular expressions in real-time with visual match highlighting, capture group inspection, regex replacement, and common pattern presets.
Test JavaScript and PCRE-compatible regular expressions against sample text. View real-time color match highlights, inspect capture groups with index positions, test string replacements using $1 references, and toggle regex flags (g, i, m, s, u).
A Regular Expression (Regex) is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. It is used in software development for string matching, data validation (e.g. validating emails or credit cards), text extraction, and automated search-and-replace operations.
/pattern/ field.g for global search, i for case-insensitive matching).$1, $2 capture group references.g (global) finds all matches instead of stopping after the first. i (case-insensitive) ignores letter casing. m (multiline) treats anchors ^ and $ as line beginnings/ends. s (dotall) allows . to match newlines. u enables full Unicode matching.
In Replace Mode, use $1 for the first parenthesized group (...), $2 for the second group, and $0 for the entire matched string.
