About this tool

What Regex Tester does

Regex Tester is a free online environment where developers can test and validate regular expression patterns against custom text samples. Users input a pattern and test string to instantly see highlighted matches and captured groups, with the ability to experiment with replacements. The tool provides detailed match explanations and supports multiple JavaScript flags, all while keeping data private since processing happens entirely within the browser.

Questions

Regex Tester FAQ

Can I use this tool offline once the page loads?
Yes, the tool runs entirely client-side using JavaScript's built-in RegExp engine, so your pattern and test text never leave your browser and the tool works offline after the initial page load.
What regex flags are supported in the Sadevz tester?
The tool supports JavaScript flags g (global), i (ignore case), m (multiline), s (dotAll), and u (unicode) that can be toggled on or off alongside your pattern.
How do I test replacement strings with my regex pattern?
Use the replace testing section to input a replacement string using $1, $2, or $<name> references for capturing groups, and the tool will preview exactly what your pattern would produce.
Is my data private when using the Regex Tester?
Yes, all matching runs locally in your browser using JavaScript's RegExp engine; your pattern and test text never leave your device or hit any server.
