Frequently Asked Questions

What is a regular expression (regex)?

A regular expression is a pattern that describes a set of strings. It is used in programming for searching, matching, and replacing text. For example, the pattern \d{3}-\d{4} matches phone numbers like '555-1234'.

What regex flags are supported?

This tool supports standard JavaScript regex flags including g (global), i (case-insensitive), m (multiline), s (dotAll), and u (unicode). Toggle them on or off to change how your pattern matches.

How do I test a regex pattern?

Enter your regex pattern in the pattern field, paste your test string below it, and the tool instantly highlights all matches. It also shows capture groups and match details so you can refine the pattern interactively.

Can I use this tool to build regex for other programming languages?

The tool uses JavaScript regex syntax, which is compatible with most languages including Python, Java, and PHP with minor differences. Always test the final pattern in your target language for edge cases.
