Free Regex Tester — Live Match Highlighting

Build and debug JavaScript regular expressions with real-time feedback. Type your pattern, set flags (global, case-insensitive, multiline, dotAll, unicode), paste sample text and see every match highlighted instantly with a count.

Features

How to use

  1. Step 1. Enter your regex pattern (without surrounding slashes).
  2. Step 2. Add flags if needed (g, i, m, s, u).
  3. Step 3. Paste sample text — matches highlight automatically.

Real use case: validating invoice numbers before they hit the database

A finance app must accept invoice references like INV-2026-00184 and reject everything else. The developer drafts ^INV-\d{4}-\d{5}$, but the QA team keeps finding accepted values that should fail, such as a reference with a trailing space.

Pasting twenty real references — good and bad — into the tester and watching which ones highlight makes the flaw obvious in seconds: the pattern was being used with .test() on an untrimmed string. The developer fixes the input handling and keeps the sample set as the basis for unit tests.

How Regex Tester works

Your pattern is compiled with the browser's native RegExp engine using the flags you select (g, i, m, s, u), so behaviour matches exactly what your JavaScript will do in production — no server-side dialect differences.

Matching iterates the subject text and records every match plus its capture groups and index. The highlighter escapes the text before inserting markers, so a match containing < or & is displayed safely and never injected as HTML.

Invalid patterns surface the engine's own SyntaxError, and zero-length matches are advanced deliberately to avoid the infinite loop that a naive global-match loop hits on patterns like a*.

Regex Tester vs similar tools

Regex testers compared:

ToolHow it worksTrade-off
Desktop/IDE find-and-replaceRegex search across files.Different flavours (PCRE, .NET) mean a pattern that works there may fail in JavaScript.
grep / ripgrepRegex over files in the terminal.POSIX or Rust regex syntax — no lookbehind in some builds, no JS semantics.
ToolZone Regex TesterNative JavaScript RegExp with live highlighting, groups and flag toggles.Tests one pattern against pasted text, not across a codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which regex flavour does it support?

JavaScript's native RegExp engine, so anything that works in Node.js or the browser works here. Lookbehinds and named groups are supported in modern browsers.

Why is my pattern slow?

Catastrophic backtracking, usually from nested quantifiers like (a+)+. Refactor with atomic patterns or possessive quantifier equivalents.
