Frequently Asked Questions About Regex
What regex flavors does this tool support?
Our regex tester uses JavaScript's built-in RegExp engine, which supports ECMAScript regex syntax. This is compatible with most modern programming languages and tools.
Can I test multiline regex patterns?
Yes! The tool supports multiline patterns and flags. You can test patterns that span multiple lines and use flags like global (g), multiline (m), and case-insensitive (i).
Does the tool show capture groups?
Currently, the tool shows basic matches. Enhanced features like capture group highlighting and named groups display are planned for future updates.
Is there a regex pattern library or examples?
While not built into this version, common regex patterns for emails, URLs, phone numbers, and dates are widely available in regex documentation and tutorials online.
Can I save my regex patterns?
The tool currently runs entirely in your browser for privacy. Pattern saving features may be added in future updates, potentially using local browser storage.
