Frequently Asked Questions
What regex flavor does this use?
This tool uses JavaScript RegExp, which is the same engine used in browsers and Node.js. Most common patterns work the same as in Python, Java, and other languages.
How do I match across multiple lines?
Add the "m" flag. This makes ^ and $ match the start and end of each line, not just the entire string.
Can I test named capture groups?
Yes. Use the syntax (?<name>pattern) and named groups will be shown in the match results.
