Frequently Asked Questions

What regex flavor does this tool use?

The tool uses JavaScript (ECMAScript) regular expression syntax, which is compatible with most modern languages including Python (with minor differences) and Ruby.

How do I make a regex case-insensitive?

Add the "i" flag to your pattern. In the tool, check the "Case Insensitive" checkbox, or write your pattern as /pattern/i.

What does the "global" flag do?

Without the global (g) flag, only the first match is returned. With the g flag, all matches in the test string are found and highlighted.

How do I test a regex for email validation?

A basic email regex is: /^[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+$/. Paste it into the pattern field and enter test email addresses to verify it matches correctly.
