Overview

About Regex Tester

Regex Tester applies a JavaScript regular expression to sample text and lists matches using the fixed flags `gmi`. Use it to test a pattern for form cleanup, log review or text extraction before placing it in an application. For example, `\b[A-Z]{2}\d{3}\b` can locate reference codes in multiline text. The tool lists matched text only; it does not show capture groups, replacement previews, match indexes or catastrophic-backtracking risk. Both pattern and sample stay in the browser, but test performance and escaping again in the language and runtime where the expression will run.
