Quick guide and practical context

Regex tester with detailed results

The tester shows matches with alternating colors, position (line and column), captured groups and execution time. You can export results as JSON, CSV or TXT.

The replacement field lets you test substitutions with a before/after preview and occurrence count.

Regex generator by category

Choose what you want to find (email, phone, date, URL, UUID, etc.) and configure specific options. The regex is generated automatically with explanation and test text.

Visual builder and explainer

The visual builder lets you compose regex by clicking blocks: characters, anchors, quantifiers, groups, sets, lookaround and escape.

The explainer analyzes the regex token by token in plain language, making it easier to learn and debug complex patterns.

Pattern library, validation, extraction and replacement

Over 30 ready patterns organized by category. Validation mode checks format compliance. Extraction mode finds all items in large texts. Replacement presets include removing spaces, HTML, emojis, masking data and normalization.

Code snippets and diagnostics

Generate ready-to-use code in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C# and Go for test, extract and replace modes.

Diagnostics shows a checklist and suggestions to improve your regex.

Privacy and JavaScript engine

All processing is local in the browser. No text or regex is sent to any server.

This tool uses the JavaScript (ECMAScript) regex engine. Some features like lookbehind may not work in older browsers.

Frequently asked questions

What is regex?

Regex (regular expression) is a search pattern used to find, validate and replace text. Widely used in programming, text editors and search tools.

Which regex engine does this tool use?

It uses the native JavaScript (ECMAScript) regex engine of your browser.

Can I generate regex automatically?

Yes. In the Generate tab, choose a category and configure options. The regex is generated with explanation and test text.

Does the regex work in Python, Java and PHP?

Most basic patterns work across engines. The Code tab generates adapted snippets, but always review for engine-specific differences.

How do I validate an entire string?

Use ^ (start) and $ (end) anchors around your pattern.

How do I extract multiple results?

In the Extract tab, paste text and choose the type. Results can be exported as JSON, CSV or TXT.

Is my data sent to any server?

No. All processing is 100% local in the browser.
