Frequently asked questions

What is a regex tester?

A regex tester lets you run a regular expression against sample text and inspect matches and capture groups.

Are regular expressions case-sensitive?

They can be. Use the case-insensitive flag when your pattern should match letters without regard to case.

Is my text uploaded?

The tool is designed to process the test locally in your browser.

Why is my regex invalid?

Check escaping, brackets, parentheses, quantifiers and flags. The browser reports the syntax error when the pattern cannot compile.
