Regex Tester
Test a JavaScript regular expression and inspect every match. Your work stays on this device whenever possible.
How to use Regex Tester
- Choose or enter the code or structured data in the input box; avoid using your only copy of important material.
- Start with content whose expected result you already know. Read every label and change only the settings relevant to this job.
- Run Regex Tester, then wait for its status message instead of pressing the action repeatedly.
- Adjust one option at a time so you can tell which setting changed the output. Save or copy the result only after that review.
What Regex Tester does
Test a JavaScript regular expression and inspect every match. The page concentrates on this exact job, keeps the controls beside the result, and reports invalid or incomplete input instead of silently inventing an answer.
Parsing and conversion happen locally with browser JavaScript. Secrets should still be removed because copied output can remain in your clipboard history. For Regex Tester, the operation is specifically to test a JavaScript regular expression and inspect every match.
Worked example
Test pattern "\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}\b" with flag "gi" against test text to inspect full matches and capture groups.
How to verify the result
Test a small known sample first, then inspect quotes, escapes, dates, and character encoding in the output. The final Regex Tester output should visibly match this goal: Test a JavaScript regular expression and inspect every match.
Important limitations
JavaScript regular expressions execute locally in your browser. Catastrophic backtracking patterns (such as nested quantifiers `(a+)+$`) can cause browser thread delays.
