About Regular Expressions

Regular expressions (regex) are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. This tool allows you to test your patterns in real-time.

Common Patterns:
  • \d - Any digit (0-9)
  • \w - Any word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _)
  • \s - Any whitespace
  • . - Any character (except newline)
  • ^ - Start of string
  • $ - End of string
  • * - 0 or more times
  • + - 1 or more times
  • ? - 0 or 1 time
Capture Groups:

Use parentheses () to create capture groups. These can be referenced in replacements using $1, $2, etc.
