Frequently Asked Questions

Which regular expression flavor is supported by this tester?
The tester uses standard JavaScript ECMAScript (ES2024) regex engine with full support for global (`g`), case-insensitive (`i`), multiline (`m`), dotAll (`s`), and unicode (`u`) flags.
Can I inspect capture groups and match indices?
Yes. All matches and capture groups are highlighted in real-time with color-coded badges, character offsets, and match counters.
Is my test data uploaded to any server?
No. Pattern compilation and string matching run 100% locally in your browser memory. Your proprietary text, logs, and sensitive regex patterns never leave your machine.
Does the tool provide built-in regex presets for common formats?
Yes. Presets include email validation, URLs, IPv4/IPv6 addresses, ISO dates, hex colors, UUIDs, phone numbers, and slug validation patterns.
