About Regex Tester

A regular expression is a search pattern for finding text that follows a shape: all the phone numbers, every date, anything ending in .com. This lets you build one and watch what it matches in real time, with a cheat sheet beside you.

When people use it

  • Developers writing a pattern without guessing whether it works
  • Working out why a search-and-replace is catching the wrong things
  • Learning regular expressions by seeing them work
  • Validating what people type into a form
