What regular expressions do

Regular expressions are pattern matching rules used to search, validate, and extract text. They are widely used in web development, data cleaning, validation, log analysis, and programming workflows. This tool helps users understand pattern structure through visual blocks such as Characters, Character Classes, Ranges, Choice, Quantifiers, Groups, and Assertions.

Edit mode

Refine the expression and instantly see how the diagram changes.

Test mode

Paste a test string and visually inspect each match occurrence.
