(xyz)Capturing group of characters(?:xyz)Non-capturing group of characters[xyz]Matches any single character from the set x, y, or z[^xyz]Matches any character *not* in the set x, y, or z[a-q]Matches any character in the range from 'a' to 'q'[0-7]Matches any digit in the range from '0' to '7'String Replacements
$`Inserts the portion of the string that precedes the match$'Inserts the portion of the string that follows the match$+Inserts the last matched capturing group$&Inserts the entire matched string$nInserts the nth captured group (e.g., $1, $2)Assertions (Lookaheads/Lookbehinds & Boundaries)
(?=xyz)Positive lookahead (asserts that xyz follows)(?!xyz)Negative lookahead (asserts that xyz does *not* follow)(?<=xyz)Positive lookbehind (asserts that xyz precedes)(?<!xyz)Negative lookbehind (asserts that xyz does *not* precede)\bWord boundary (position between a 'word' and a non-'word' character)\BNot a word boundary(?#comment)Comment (is ignored by the regex engine)Check and Test Regular Expressions
Please note that regular expressions in this tool are processed according to the ECMAScript standard (JavaScript RegExp). This means that the behavior of patterns corresponds to how they work in a browser or in JavaScript code. Some constructs, such as character escaping (/ and /), may behave the same way, even if they look different. If you are used to regular expressions in other languages (for example, Python, PHP, .NET or POSIX), note that they may have differences in syntax and matching logic.
This tool allows you to test regular expressions (RegEx) and check their operability. RegEx is widely used in programming, data processing, and SEO analytics.
With it, you can search, replace, and analyze text patterns, simplifying work with large amounts of data.
