Regex Tester

Test a pattern against text, live matches, groups, and flags.

Why this exists

Regex is easy to misread and risky to test against production data in a random web tool. This runs entirely in your browser, highlighting matches and capture groups as you type.

How to use
  1. Type a pattern and pick flags (g, i, m, s).
  2. Paste your test text below.
  3. Matches are highlighted and capture groups (named and numbered) are listed.
//g

Try an example

Pattern with text , pulls out two dates with year/month/day capture groups.
