FAQ
What is a regular expression?
A regular expression (regex) is a pattern used to match character combinations in strings. It's widely used for searching, validating, and replacing text.
What do the flags mean?
g = global (find all matches), i = case insensitive, m = multiline (^ and $ match line boundaries), s = dotAll (. matches newlines too).
Is my data safe?
Yes, all regex testing happens in your browser using JavaScript's native RegExp engine. No data is sent to any server.
