Overview

About Regex Tester


The QuickToolz Regex Tester lets you build, test, and debug JavaScript-compatible regular expressions interactively. Type a regex and a test string and instantly see every match, capture group, named group, and replacement preview — with full flag support (g, i, m, s, u, y).

Supported features

  • Live match highlighting

  • Capture groups and named captures ((?&lt;name&gt;…))

  • Replace preview with $1, $2, $&lt;name&gt; references

  • All JavaScript flags: global, ignore case, multiline, dotAll, unicode, sticky

  • Match count and per-match index

Why regex testing matters

Regular expressions are powerful but easy to get wrong. A live tester turns trial-and-error into iteration: tweak a pattern, see matches update instantly, and ship a regex you trust.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Regex Tester.

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Common questions about Regex Tester.


JavaScript (ECMAScript) regex — the same one browsers and Node.js use. Most patterns also work in Python and PCRE with minor adjustments.

Yes — modern JavaScript supports (?&lt;=...) and (?&lt;!...) lookbehind assertions.

In default mode \d matches only [0-9]. Add the u flag and use \p{Nd} (Unicode property escapes) for full digit coverage.
