Regex Tester

Enter a regular expression and sample text. We run the regex (JavaScript flavor) and show whether it matches and what groups were captured. Invalid regex shows an error message.

Test regex

Enter regex and text, then click Test.

How it works

We build a RegExp from your pattern (with g if Global is checked) and run exec or match. Capturing groups are listed. No replacement; use your editor or script for that.

When to use it

Use to quickly verify a regex against sample strings before putting it in code.
