Frequently Asked Questions
Which RegEx engine does this tool use? ▾
This tool utilizes your browser's native JavaScript Regular Expression engine. It fully supports standard JS flags such as 'g' (global), 'i' (case-insensitive), and 'm' (multiline).
Can it extract specific capture groups? ▾
Yes! If you wrap sub-patterns in parentheses `()`, the tool automatically parses and lists the exact content extracted by those specific capture groups below the main match.
Is my test data sent to a server? ▾
No. All pattern compilation and string matching happens securely within your local browser, meaning your sensitive test data is completely private.
